The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has congratulated Charles Chukwuma Soludo on his resounding and historic victory in the November 8, 2025, Anambra State Governorship Election.
A press release by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ejimofor Opara, which was made available to journalists on Sunday, said 73 percent of the total votes cast and victories in 98 percent of the 326 electoral wards across the state, showed that Anambra people have once again delivered a clear, unequivocal, and overwhelming mandate.
He said the result affirmed the people’s trust in Governor Soludo’s visionary leadership, his bold reforms, and his unwavering commitment to building a liveable and prosperous homeland.
Opara said: “This landslide triumph is not merely an electoral outcome; it is a referendum on the 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.
“We equally recognise the professionalism and vigilance of the security agencies, whose presence and conduct guaranteed a peaceful and orderly exercise across the state.
“APGA extends profound appreciation to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for ensuring an atmosphere of peace, fairness, and national responsibility throughout the electoral process.
“We commend the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting a transparent and credible election that reflects the will of the people.”
The party mourned its member, Mr Francis Onyeka Ibe, a Councillor of Owerre-ezukala and leader of the Orumba South Council, who was shot dead by criminal gunmen shortly after casting his vote.
The party said: “As Governor Soludo embarks on his second term, APGA reiterates its commitment to providing leadership that works for all—building institutions, deepening democracy, expanding economic opportunities, and safeguarding the future of every Anambra son and daughter.
“This victory marks a new chapter. Together, we shall build an Anambra that is liveable, prosperous, globally competitive, and exemplary in governance.”
