Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo has declared that the state and the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, will support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. He made the statement while speaking to members of the City Boy Movement, Anambra State Chapter, emphasizing that his political decisions are rooted in the interests of Anambra people and the Igbo nation. Soludo pointed to the Federal Government's swift approval of Anambra's proposed aerotropolis as a Free Economic Trade Zone, describing it as the fastest response he has ever received from the federal level. He credited this decision as a tangible benefit of alignment with the current administration.
Soludo stressed that while APGA remains an independent party, it shares progressive values with the ruling party and should cooperate with the Federal Government to advance development in the South-East. He advocated for unity among progressive forces to drive growth and improve conditions in Anambra State. The governor rejected the idea of political subordination, stating, "You don't take second position in politics. I don't play that kind of politics." He reiterated his commitment to what he called the "politics of evidence," where decisions are based on measurable outcomes rather than allegiance. In his words: "The President in a fastest approval I have ever seen, he designated our aero metropolis as..."
Soludo's endorsement of Tinubu rests on a single federal approval, not a broader political merger or national policy shift. His claim of playing "politics of evidence" is tested by whether other promised projects receive the same urgency. If cooperation yields only one major outcome so far, the long-term value of this alignment remains narrowly proven.
