Umueri community has endorsed Governor Chukwuma Soludo for a second term, vowing mass support in Anambra’s 2025 election to sustain ongoing development.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s bid for a second term in office has received a major boost ahead of the November 8, 2025, governorship election in Anambra State, as the people of Umueri community in Anambra East Local Government Area have formally endorsed him for re-election.
The declaration of support came during the 2025 Umueri New Yam Festival, where the President-General of the Umueri General Assembly, Dr. John Metchie, announced that the community has collectively resolved to back Soludo and his deputy, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim, for another term.
Dr. Metchie—who doubles as a United Nations Peace Ambassador, international business mogul, and Deputy Commander-General (Intelligence) of the Nigerian Forest Security Service (NFSS)—praised the governor’s performance in the past three years, describing it as both exceptional and transformative.
According to him, Soludo’s leadership has brought visible improvements in infrastructure, grassroots empowerment, education, and security, surpassing the expectations of Ndi Anambra.
He insisted that these achievements have made the governor’s re-election bid a matter of consensus across the state.
“The people of Anambra have unanimously resolved to re-elect Governor Soludo and his deputy to consolidate on the developmental strides already achieved. For us, his second term is non-negotiable,” Metchie declared.
The community leader further noted that Soludo enjoys overwhelming support in the Omambala region—covering Anambra East, Anambra West, Ayamelum, and Oyi local government areas.
He pledged to spearhead grassroots mobilization in the area, ensuring a landslide victory for the governor.
“There is no vacancy in Anambra Government House come November 8,” he affirmed, adding that youths, women, and traditional stakeholders across the state are already united behind Soludo’s candidacy.
In a message directed at other aspirants, Dr. Metchie urged them to reconsider their ambitions and instead join hands with the sitting governor to sustain the pace of development in the state.
He stressed that political unity at this time is crucial to safeguard the progress Anambra has recorded under Soludo’s administration.
He concluded that Soludo’s re-election is not merely a political contest but a collective mission for Ndi Anambra, who are determined to uphold continuity, stability, and development.
