The Anambra chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticised Chukwuma Soludo, governor of the state, over his recent visit to President Bola Tinubu.
In a statement on Wednesday, Okechukwu Modebe, spokesperson of the Nicholas Ukachukwu/Uche Ekwunife campaign organisation, described the meeting as “the last kick of a dying horse” and a desperate bid to revive Soludo’s political relevance ahead of the November 8, 2025 governorship election.
“This latest attempt to posture for the cameras with Mr President cannot erase four years of misgovernance, disconnection from the grassroots, and political miscalculations,” the statement reads.
“Parading such meetings as endorsements insults the intelligence of Anambra voters.”
Soludo, a chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), had met with Tinubu on August 12 and pledged his support for the president’s 2027 re-election bid.
The Anambra governor arrived for the closed-door meeting wearing a cap emblazoned with Tinubu’s insignia.
The APC accused the governor of spinning the visit as an endorsement that “does not exist”.
Modebe said the party remains focused on the governorship poll and the August 16 Anambra south senatorial re-run.
The spokesperson asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct credible polls, warning that “the days of business-as-usual in Anambra politics are over”.
