“To ensure order, equity and fairness in Anambra politics, the people agreed on a zoning system among the three senatorial zones.

“And now it is the turn of Anambra South and we will have it for eight years.
“After Soludo, power will shift back to Anambra Central.
“So, there is no contest or vacancy in Anambra State Government House.

“The other contenders are just doing fundraising, meeting with state governors and seeking support.”
Soludo expressed gratitude to the people for their solidarity and support.
He promised to sustain the transformation and development agenda of his administration.“l
“You have not seen anything yet; this is just the beginning.
“We applied for this job, and we will continue working to improve the welfare of our people.
“Anambra will be transformed and a new Anambra will rise with your continued support,” he said.
Soludo urged APGA faithful to go to their wards and mobilise electorate to vote massively for APGA on Nov. 8.
