Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has declared that he has no challenger in the November 8 governorship election in the state.
The governor, while speaking during an endorsement rally organised for him in Awka by stakeholders of Anambra Central Senatorial Zone, insisted that most of those in the race were only in it to scout for funds to line their personal pockets.
The rally is the second endorsement for Soludo after the one held in Otuocha, Anambra East Local Government Area (LGA), where stakeholders of Anambra North Senatorial Zone declared support for him.
Soludo, while addressing supporters during the rally, stated expressly that Anambra State enjoys an unbroken zoning formula and that he would hand over to a candidate from the Central Zone after eight years.
He added that anyone opposed to his second term will just be disrupting the seamless zoning in the state and delaying the turn of the Central Zone to take the governorship seat.
He said: “A few weeks ago, a rally like this happened in the North Senatorial Zone, and all the stakeholders, community leaders, traditional rulers, youths, students, all declared that our ticket is a consensus for Anambra.
“Today too, you (Anambra Central) are here to declare that this ticket is the consensus ticket for the 2025 election.
“On behalf of myself, my wife, and my running mate, we are happy and we are grateful to all the stakeholders. We have listened to your kind words, words of solidarity, and all.
