In a resounding display of inter-party cooperation of progressives and national unity, the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, joined a grand endorsement rally in Ebonyi State today, declaring his strong support for the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
Addressing a mammoth crowd of supporters in Abakiliki, Ebonyi State, Governor Soludo characterized his attendance as a “solidarity visit,” emphasizing the growing synergy between progressive forces across Nigeria.
Standing alongside his host, the Governor of Ebonyi State, whom he affectionately recognized as “my own brother,” Governor Soludo affirmed his commitment to the collaborative governance currently shaping the nation. “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,” he remarked to applause.
Governor Soludo, representing the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), underpinned the necessity of moving beyond traditional political silos to secure the nation’s future.
“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,” he stated. “I have come in solidarity because progressives are working together. It is time for progressives to unite.”
Addressing the current economic and social climate, the Governor acknowledged the presence of national challenges but expressed optimism in the current administration’s efforts in addressing them. He signaled that his own party, APGA, would soon convene to formalize its position, with the ultimate goal of consolidating a national progressive front to ensure the continuity of the foundational structures being laid by President Tinubu.
In a poignant message to his fellow Ndi Igbo, Governor Soludo made a compelling argument for a shift in political strategy. He urged the region to move away from historical patterns of grievance-based politics toward a future defined by pragmatic partnership.
“I say to ụmụ nne m ndị Igbo, ENOUGH of the politics of lamentations,” Governor Soludo declared. “We must now move from the alliance of protest to the alliance for progress—an alliance and partnership for prosperity for Ndi Igbo. We must now unite as Ndi Igbo; we must not waste our votes again.”
Governor Soludo’s remarks resonated deeply with the audience, marking a significant moment in the unfolding narrative of national integration and political realignment within the Southeast. The rally concluded with a reaffirmation of the collective resolve to support the President’s vision for a renewed and prosperous Nigeria.
