Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State last week set off a fresh round of controversy by promising a ₦1million cash reward to any ward that delivers victory for his party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), in the upcoming 2025 governorship election.
Speaking during APGA’s campaign rally in Umunze, Orumba South Local Government Area, the governor announced the incentive while urging party members to intensify their grassroots mobilisation ahead of the November 8 poll.
“For November 8, any ward that wins again will receive ₦1million, while the first three performing wards will get ₦5million, ₦2million, and ₦1million respectively,” Soludo declared to a cheering crowd.
