Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, has called on people of the South-East to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, urging the region to move away from what he described as an “alliance of protest” and embrace an “alliance for progress and prosperity.”
Soludo made the appeal in a statement shared on his X account on Tuesday, following his participation in a rally organised by the Ebonyi State Government in support of President Tinubu’s second-term ambition.
The governor attended the event alongside his Ebonyi State counterpart, Francis Nwifuru, and other political leaders, stressing the need for progressive-minded Nigerians to unite behind the current administration.
According to Soludo, the South-East should reassess its political choices and align with a platform that promotes development and economic growth.
“The time has come for us to unite. Enough of the politics of lamentations. Ndi Igbo, we must move from the alliance of protest to the alliance for progress—an alliance for prosperity. We must unite. We must not waste our votes again,” he stated.
Speaking at the rally on Monday, Soludo expressed solidarity with Governor Nwifuru over the endorsement of President Tinubu, describing the Ebonyi governor as a close ally and brother.
“I am here on a solidarity march with my own brother, the Rt. Hon. Governor of Ebonyi State, who, by the grace of God, is governor until 2031,” Soludo said.
“I am here in solidarity with you because today, you are endorsing the President and Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.”
The Anambra governor maintained that progressives across the country must work together to strengthen national unity and support policies capable of driving sustainable development.
“I have come in solidarity because progressives are working together. It is time for progressives to unite,” he added.
The endorsement rally is one of the growing political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections, as supporters of President Tinubu continue to mobilise support across different regions of the country.
