The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has congratulated Governor Chukwuma Soludo, on his resounding and historic victory in the just concluded Anambra governorship election.
APGA National Publicity Secretary, Mazi Ejimofor Okpara in a statement on Sunday in Awka said with 73% of the total votes cast and victories in 98% of the 326 electoral wards across the state, Ndi Anambra have once again delivered a clear, unequivocal, and overwhelming mandate, affirming their trust in Governor Soludo’s visionary leadership, bold reforms, and unwavering commitment to building a liveable and prosperous homeland.
The publicity secretary said the landslide triumph is not merely an electoral outcome but a referendum on performance, a celebration of progressive governance, and a reaffirmation of APGA as the true political identity of Ndi Igbo and the custodian of Anambra’s development aspirations.
The party extended appreciation to the President Tinubu for ensuring an atmosphere of peace, fairness, and national responsibility throughout the electoral process and also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting a transparent and credible election that reflects the will of the people.
“We equally recognize the professionalism and vigilance of the security agencies, whose presence and conduct guaranteed a peaceful and orderly exercise across the state. Sadly, we mourn the death of one of our member, Mr. Francis Onyeka Ibe, the Councillor of Owerre-ezukala and leader of the Orumba South Council who was shot dead by criminal gun men yesterday shortly after casting his vote. We pray for the peaceful repose of his soul and call for the speedy arrest and prosecution of his killers”
“Most importantly, we thank the good people of Anambra State—the voters whose courage, patience, and patriotic participation ensured that democracy triumphed. You are the true winners of this election.
