“APGA Will Win Anambra Election” – Governor Soludo Boasts As He Cast His Vote

The incumbent Governor of Anambra State and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate, Charles Soludo, has predicted a “landslide” victory in the ongoing governorship election.

Charles Soludo, who is facing 15 other candidates, made the comments after casting his vote on Saturday, expressing confidence in securing the highest number of votes.

He said, “Let the people just come out and vote, and we are sure that we will win and win landlside.

“You have seen the process here. It is quite seamless. We said it all through the campaign.

“We have opponents, but we have not seen any opposition. But then we are not taking the votes of the people for granted.”

The 16 candidates contesting the election include Prof. Charles Soludo of the APGA; Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Sir Paul Chukwuma of the Young Progressives Party (YPP); Mr John Nwosu of the African Democratic Congress (ADC); Dr George Moghalu of the Labour Party (LP); Oti Echezona of Allied People’s Movement (APM); and Chief Jeff Nweke of Action Alliance (AA).

Others are Charles Onyeze of Accord; Geoffrey Onyejegbu of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP); Jude Ezenwafor of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP; Chukwududem Nweke of Action Peoples Party (APP); Jerry Okeke of Boot Party (BP); Martin Ugwoji of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP); and Vincent Chukwurah of Social Democratic Party (SDP). The two female candidates are Ms. Chioma Ifemeludike of AAC and Ndidi Olieh of National Rescue Movement (NRM).

The election also features six female deputy governorship candidates: Appolonia Ezeadili (Accord), Senator Uche Ekwunife (APC), Ebele Okeke (APP), Happiness Ugboma (BP), Veronica Okaro (LP), and Faith Obi (ZLP).

KanyiDaily recalls that ADC governorship candidate, John Nwosu,  recently accused the APGA of widespread vote buying in the ongoing Anambra governorship election.
