The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has congratulated Governor Chukwuma Soludo on his decisive victory in the November 8, 2025, Anambra State governorship election.
In a statement signed by the party’s publicity secretary, Ejimofor Opara, APGA described the win as “historic and resounding,” noting that Governor Soludo secured 73 per cent of the total votes and won in 98 per cent of the 326 electoral wards across the state.
According to the party, the outcome reflects the overwhelming confidence of ‘Ndi’ Anambra in the governor’s leadership, reforms, and vision for a “liveable and prosperous homeland.” The statement described the triumph as “not just an electoral outcome, but a referendum on performance, progressive governance, and a reaffirmation of APGA as the true political identity of Ndi Igbo.”
APGA expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for ensuring an atmosphere of peace and fairness throughout the election, and commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting a transparent and credible poll. The party also lauded security agencies for their professionalism and vigilance during the exercise.
The party, however, mourned the death of Francis Ibe, the councillor of Owerre-Ezukala and leader of the Orumba South council, who was reportedly shot dead by gunmen shortly after casting his vote. APGA prayed for his soul and called for the arrest and prosecution of his killers.
APGA further extended appreciation to the people of Anambra State for their patience, courage, and participation, describing them as “the true winners of this election.” The party urged all candidates and political parties that participated in the election to accept Governor Soludo’s olive branch and collaborate to strengthen peace and accelerate development in the state.
“As Governor Soludo embarks on his second term, APGA remains committed to building institutions, deepening democracy, expanding economic opportunities, and safeguarding the future of every Anambra son and daughter,” the statement added.
