Soludo Tells City Boy Movement What To Do For Tinubu’s 2027 Re-Election

Anambra State Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo addressed the City Boy Movement, urging its members to intensify efforts for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign. Speaking at the Light House in Awka, the state capital, Soludo emphasized the importance of women and youth participation in politics, calling it essential for societal advancement. He noted that his administration has actively promoted greater involvement of women and youths in governance, highlighting the movement’s women coordinators for their commitment. Soludo warned the Igbo people against wasting votes in future elections, stressing that political success depends on strategic bargaining with votes as the primary currency. He assured the movement of full support for their mobilization efforts and resource organization. His daughter, Adaora Soludo, serves as the Anambra State Women Coordinator of the City Boy Movement, reinforcing the governor’s focus on inclusive political engagement. The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has responded to criticism over Governor Soludo’s endorsement of Tinubu’s re-election bid. APGA denied allegations of political deception, reaffirming its ideological alliance with the APC. The party dismissed claims of backlash, insisting its support for Tinubu remains deliberate and aligned with its political objectives. Critics have accused APGA of hypocrisy, particularly following Soludo’s public endorsement of Tinubu amid the party’s historical opposition to the APC. The controversy has sparked debates over APGA’s political strategy ahead of the 2027 elections. Meanwhile, the governor’s call for strategic political calculations among the Igbo underscores the high stakes in Nigeria’s upcoming electoral process.
