“Soludo has not declared intention to contest for second term” – Anambra State Govt

• Mefor announced that despite the governor not declaring his candidacy, efforts will be made to convince him to run again due to his outstanding performance.

• The Commissioner expressed confidence in Soludo’s ability to win if he decides to contest by showcasing his achievements to the electorate.

Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, has stated that Governor Charles Soludo has not made any announcement regarding his intention to seek a second term in office.

During a press briefing in his office yesterday, Mefor emphasized that while the governor has yet to declare his candidacy, there will be initiatives aimed at encouraging him to pursue another term, given his commendable performance in office.

The Commissioner also conveyed his belief that should Soludo choose to run, he would secure victory by effectively presenting his achievements to the voters.

He said, “Soludo has not declared intention to contest for a second term. He is too busy putting policies in the state to develop the state.

“I’m one of those that will persuade him to run, and if he runs, I will ensure that he wins. He has shown himself to be what Anambra people want.

“All the indices favour Soludo. He is from Anambra South, and the zoning formula favours him. The zoning formula we have in Anambra is such that one is entitled to a second term.

“If Soludo contests, I’m sure he will win because he will not be telling anyone that he will do this or do that, he will rather show them what he has done.

“Soludo has the right to contest for a second term. Those who are saying that they will contest against him are the same people who contested against him when he was not a governor and he won them.

“Why do you think that he will not win them again, now that he has evidence of what he has done for Anambra people?

“Soludo has verifiable, tangible achievements in Anambra, and all he needs to do is show Anambra people his scorecard to get reelected for a second term.”
