Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has inaugurated a joint campaign council of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

The inauguration, held on Sunday at the International Convention Centre in Awka, brought together political leaders, serving and former lawmakers, local government chairmen and other stakeholders from both parties.

Soludo urged political actors across the South-East to unite behind Tinubu, stressing the need to take the campaign to grassroots communities, wards and polling units.

He described the initiative as an inclusive political movement, calling on APGA and APC members to work together to secure the President’s re-election.

The governor maintained that continued cooperation with the Federal Government was crucial to the South-East’s political relevance and development.

According to him, the region stands to benefit from stronger ties with the Federal Government, particularly in infrastructure development and economic growth.

Soludo also urged Anambra residents to vote massively for Tinubu in 2027, noting that the President had continued to support the region despite its voting pattern in the 2023 presidential election.

He attributed infrastructure development, increased federal allocations to states and improved economic stability to Tinubu’s reforms.

The governor further stressed that major projects, including railways and gas pipelines, required collaboration between state and federal governments.

The campaign council was formally inaugurated after members sang Tinubu’s campaign slogan, “On the mandate we shall stand.”

Soludo said the full membership and structure of the council would be unveiled soon.

The development comes as political parties and their supporters intensify preparations for the 2027 general elections.
