Why Anambra will vote for Tinubu in 2027

Governor Charles Soludo has said that Anambra State and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) will vote for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Soludo made the declaration while addressing members of the City Boy Movement, Anambra State Chapter.

The governor said his political decisions are guided by the interests of Anambra people and the Igbo nation, adding that he believes in the “politics of evidence.”

He cited the Federal Government’s approval of the state’s proposed aerotropolis as a Free Economic Trade Zone as an example of the benefits of cooperation with the current administration.

Soludo said the approval was granted in what he described as the fastest response he had witnessed from the Federal Government. He also said that although APGA remains a separate political party, it shares progressive ideals with the ruling party and should work with the Federal Government for the benefit of the Southeast region.

The governor maintained that progressive political forces must collaborate to advance the interests of the Igbo people and accelerate development in Anambra State.

Soludo said: “You don’t take second position in politics. I don’t play that kind of politics. The politics I want to play is for the interest of Ndi Anambra, and the Igbo.

“I only play the politics of evidence.

“The President, in the fastest approval I have ever seen, designated our aero metropolis as a free economic trade zone. That’s politics.

“Despite the fact that we are in APGA, we understand that progressives have to work together for the good of Igbo.”
