Anambra 2025: Stakeholders Demands One Term Pact, Begs Senator Tony Nwoye To Replace Soludo

Some stakeholders in Anambra State have approached the Senator representing Anambra North Senatorial District, Dr Tony Nwoye to vie for the 2025 governorship poll in the state

If Nwoye accedes to the stakeholders’ pressure, he would contest the poll with the incumbent governor of the state, Prof Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District Chief Ifeanyi Ubah of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to our source who was in the stakeholders’ meeting, afraid that Prof Soludo’s second term in office could be dictatorial and dry, and with the manifest apathy for Ifeanyi Ubah’s APC in the state, the stakeholders had to rally round Tony Nwoye for the 2025 polls.

According to the source, ”This is what is on board now. The stakeholders are asking Tony( Nwoye) to take up the challenge to salvage the state. They see him as the next hope.

“You know Tony has been on ground in Anambra politics. He had contested for the governorship of the state for about two times. He has been a member of the House of Representatives and now in the Senate. He has the experience.

“But the stakeholders are asking him to sign an agreement by way of an affidavit to do only one term; so that the political understanding and equation in the state won’t be distorted badly.
