“Governor Soludo is the only, and first seating governor in Anambra state who has touched our lives with his visit to the town in January this year, where he assured us then that we will benefit from his rural development activities.
“I believed the governor’s promise is genuine. We are ready and willing to give him our votes. God will surely use him to liberate and develop our community, particularly on good road accessibility, he promised us. Let us go ahead and give him our overwhelming support to win the election,” he said.
The Philanthropist, who recently donated over 400 solar lights to three villages of the community, which was inaugurated by Gov. Soludo in January this year and have been paying their electricity bills for over six years, said he was ready to do more for his people, even in academic empowerment.
According to him, “already many sons and daughters of the community, and non indigenes are benefitting from his education endowment fund. He was ever ready to touch others lives through sharing his God’s blessings with them.
“I suffered a lot growing up from a poor family background, all I want to do presently is to impact people’s lives positively.
“I called this gathering today not as a politician, which I will never want to be, but to plead with our people to see reasons with me, by giving Prof. Chukwuma Soludo our overwhelming votes on Saturday,” he stressed.
Chief Ernest Ezeajughi, the Chief of Staff to Gov. Soludo, who was present at the event, commended the community’s love for the governor, assuring that they would not be disappointed by giving him their votes again on Saturday.
While also commending Eugene-Nwankwo’s benevolent and open heart to the community, he appealed to them to come out en-mass as usual on Saturday November 8, 2025 governorship election and vote for Mr Governor. This is our government, and Ndiowu will surely benefit from the ongoing development in the state.
“Also, let our youths avail themselves of the opportunity in the state government youth skill empowerment, which many have benefited in the programme, and are doing very well individually,” he said.
Mr Emeka Aforka, a former Deputy Majority Leader of the Anambra State House of Assembly, who is also from the town, said the community is being mobilised to come out in large numbers and cast their votes for Gov. Soludo.
“He is the best candidate now for the Anambra Government House. He is over qualified and have shown that, within the three years of his administration,” he said.
Engr. Chike Emenike, the immediate past President-General of the town, on his part, said the governor has done well so far and deserved a second term to complete his program of activities in the state.
The event also featured endorsement of governor Soludo’s reelection bid.
