AnambraDecides: Soludo is our choice, say Anambra indigenes in diaspora
The Anambra indigenes in the diaspora have endorsed Chukwuma Soludo, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate, for the November 6 governorship election.
The group made up of people living in the U.S., UK, Russia, Germany, Hong Kong, South Africa, Australia, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Italy, and India, disclosed this in a statement released on Tuesday.
They stated that the group took the position during the Anambra indigenes in the diaspora meeting held virtually from September 10 to 12.
“After due considerations, we unanimously adopted Prof. Chukwuma Soludo as the preferred governorship candidate for the poll,” said the statement. “The diaspora overwhelmingly request the entire Anambra people to align with and support Soludo because the state is in serious need of sustaining good governance.”
The group, however, explained that candidates presented by other political parties were equally good but that its choice of Mr Soludo was devoid of bias and done in the best interest of the state.
“We are convinced that Soludo has the integrity, pedigree, and visionary leadership acumen to drive the state to the next level of development in infrastructure, human capital, industrial, education, health, agriculture and other sectors,” the group stated.
The Anambra indigenes assured that if elected Mr Soludo, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, they would mobilise forces in countries of their residence to galvanise development in the state.
