Governor Charles Soludo is under pressure to join APC. The APC is reportedly putting significant pressure on Governor Charles Soludo to defect from his current party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), and run for the 2025 governorship election under the APC banner. This is part of the APC’s strategy to take control of Anambra State.
The leader of the APC in the Southeast region has confirmed this development, stating that the party is keen to have Governor Soludo on their side. However, the APGA has dismissed these efforts as mere wishful thinking on the part of the APC.
The APC has been reaching out to Governor Soludo in an attempt to persuade him to defect to their party. They argue that having a sitting governor on their side would make it easier for the APC to win the upcoming gubernatorial battle. The APC’s interest in Anambra State is clear, and they are hoping for fruitful discussions with the governor.
The backup plan will be implemented if the governor doesn’t yield to the pressure. This indicates the APC’s strong interest in Anambra State. In response to the rumors about pressure on Soludo to join the APC, the national publicity secretary of APGA, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, dismissed them as entirely false.
Governor Soludo has dissolved the traditional ruler’s council of the state for law violations, showing his authority and commitment to upholding the rule of law.
In conclusion, the political landscape in Anambra State is heating up as the APC puts pressure on Governor Soludo to join their party. The party’s keen interest in having a sitting governor on their side reveals their determination to win the 2025 gubernatorial election. However, the APGA has dismissed these efforts and remains confident in their position. It remains to be seen how these developments will impact the political dynamics in Anambra State in the lead-up to the election.
