The newly renovated Alex Ekwueme Square Awka was filled to capacity on Saturday, July 26, 2025 during an endorsement rally organised by stakeholders and support groups in Anambra central senatorial district for governor Chukwuma Soludo.

It was an endorsement like no other as scores of support groups and political stakeholders in the Senatorial Zone affirmed their unalloyed support to the second term bid of Soludo.

The rally in Awka was the second major endorsement for the governor, following a similar event in Otuocha, Anambra East Local Government Area, where stakeholders from the Anambra North Senatorial Zone unanimously declared support for his re-election, saying that his candidacy is a consensus project for the entire state.

The stakeholders, including the chairman, planning Committee, Chief Dozie Nwankwo, former aviation minister, barrister Osita Chidoka, chief Okey Muo Aroh said their endorsement of Soludo for a second term was based on his performance in office and his broad vision to make Anambra state a destination.

They promised to go back to their wards, mobilise voters and ensure that the governor is re-elected come November 8, 2025.

The Deputy Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon. Chukwuma Okoye, read a communique on behalf of the Anambra Central senatorial district, formally endorsing Soludo’s candidacy and affirming the zone’s commitment to upholding the arrangement for fairness, equity and peaceful co-existence.

Expressing his gratitude to Anambra central, governor Soludo noted that Anambra has come to adopt a zoning formula, which has promoted equity and stability in the state’s politics.

He reiterated his commitment to that zoning formula and promised to hand over to a candidate from Anambra Central after completing his constitutionally allowed two terms.

The governor insisted that he has no challenger in the November 8, 2025 governorship election in the state, saying that his challengers are only in the race to raise funds.

According to him, anyone working against his second term will just be disrupting the seamless zoning in the state, and delaying the turn of the central zone to take the governorship seat.

The governor announced that his campaign team will be announced in the nearest future.
