Anambra State Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has stated that backing President Bola Tinubu for a second term could lead to an Igbo presidency in the future. In an Igbo language video that surfaced on X, Soludo suggested that supporting Tinubu in the 2027 election might encourage other regions to back an Igbo candidate when power returns to the South.
He noted that power would move to the north following Tinubu's term, before eventually returning to the south. Soludo urged Igbo people to support the incumbent southern president for the next four years, emphasizing the importance of regional cooperation. The governor also indicated he would not seek a third term and expressed APGA's willingness to support the prevailing political direction in the interest of the South-East.
Soludo joined the presidential campaign council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) recently, alongside Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and Minister of Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike. APGA hailed this appointment as a testament to Soludo's dedication to fostering a strategic alliance between Anambra State and the federal government for the benefit of Anambra and Ndigbo.
