This was as he stressed that zoning of the governorship seat among the three senatorial districts has become an established practice in the state.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has pledged to hand over power to a successor from the Anambra Central Senatorial District when his tenure comes to an end.
This was as he stressed that zoning of the governorship seat among the three senatorial districts has become an established practice in the state.
Soludo stated this during an endorsement rally for his re-election bid and the return of Ifeanyi Ibezi, a former member of the House of Representatives, to the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, at Abatete, Idemili North Local Government Area.
According to him, the zoning arrangement, which began with Anambra North, was followed by Anambra South, where he hails from, and will, after his tenure, move to Anambra Central.
While welcoming Ibezi back to APGA, the governor described the party as the political identity of the state.
The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, noted that his re-election campaign has grown into a grassroots movement, with communities independently organizing endorsement rallies.
“Anambra is APGA, and APGA is synonymous with Anambra. We are going round the state welcoming major people back into the fold. APGA has never been more united and stronger than it is today,” he added.
He expressed confidence of victory for APGA across the state’s 5,720 polling units and 326 political wards, urging voters in Idemili North—known for its large voter population but low turnout—to reverse the trend in the November 8 election.
