President Muhammadu Buhari has charged the Anambra State governor-elect, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, to redress the various challenges confronting Anambra State.
Buhari made the appeal on Wednesday via his verified Facebook page after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Soludo winner of the State’s governorship election.
The president also commended the security operatives deployed to the State for ensuring the safety of residents during the election despite perceived security threats.
“I enjoin Prof Soludo to rally other stakeholders to tackle the enormous challenges confronting Anambra State and the Southeast in general.
“I commend the security agencies for their determination to ensure that the election went on as smoothly as possible, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the successful conclusion of the exercise, despite the initial challenges encountered,” the President stated.
Buhari also stated his readiness to work together with Soludo for the development of the state and the country.
“I congratulate Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) — and a member of the Presidential Economic Advisory Committee (PEAC) — on his victory in the Anambra State gubernatorial election.
“I look forward to working with him for the peace, security and development of Anambra State and the entire country,” Buhari said.
