Soludo will be Anambra’s next governor: Gov. Obiano affirms

Willie Obiano, the governor of Anambra State, has said that his preferred successor, Chukwuma Soludo, will win the state governorship elections in November, amidst threats of a state of emergency by the federal government.

“Professor Chukwuma Soludo will be the next governor of Anambra state,” Mr Obiano said after meeting with President Buhari on Thursday.

Mr Obiano dismissed threats that election would not hold.

He said he has conferred with the president and has secured commitment for the reinforcement of security assets in the state for a smooth electoral process. 

“The guarantee we are given for this election is that the election will hold, we’ll have enough security to back the people and APGA,” Mr Obiano added.
