Professor Chukwuma Soludo, Anambra State governor and candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the November 8, 2025, governorship election has mocked the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate for flagging off their campaign just seven days before the voting process.
Soludo said the development is proof that the party is not serious about the contest.
The governor’s reaction came barely two hours after the APC flagged off its campaign at the All Saints Cathedral Field, Onitsha, on Friday.
The campaign, according to Tribune Online, attracted national officials of the party, APC governors, including Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, and thousands of supporters in the State.
Speaking further while addressing APGA supporters during his campaign rally held at the Njikoka Local Government Headquarters, Abagana, Soludo urged the people to come out en masse on election day and reject the APC and other opposition parties contesting the race.
“This is shocking and a mockery for a political party like the APC to flag off its campaign seven days to the voting process. Though it’s not a surprise, because its candidate is in the race to gain cheap popularity.
“Please, on the day of the election, step out en masse, collect their money, eat it, and vote them out.
“What I can tell you here today is that I have no competitor in this gubernatorial race. What you have seen in the last three years of my administration in terms of transformation is evidence that we will win the election — and we can only win when we all go out and vote,” Soludo said.
The APGA rally also featured a donation of N50 million to the governor’s re-election bid.
