Like the other two senatorial zones of Anambra North and Anambra Central, supporters of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in Anambra South senatorial zone have also endorsed Governor Chukwuma Soludo and his Deputy, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim as their candidates for the November 8 election.

The endorsement was made during their gathering at the Ekwulobia Township Stadium, Aguata local government area, where representatives from the seven local government areas that make up the zone organized a rally in support for their re-election.

At the gathering, Chief Emmanuel Nwachukwu was also presented as the flag bearer for APGA in the bye-election scheduled for August 16, 2025.

Delivering a speech, Governor Soludo expressed his gratitude to the people of South senatorial zone and the entire people of Anambra State for their proactive involvement in his re-election campaign, remarking that the support came even before the official launch of his campaign council.

The governor also expressed confidence that voting for Chief Nwachukwu would ensure the emergence of a Senator who will collaborate closely with him and join the APGA caucus in the national assembly to implement the party's policy of working hand-in-hand with the government at the center.

He accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of plotting to manipulate the forthcoming elections, warning aspirants from Anambra South who are eyeing the governorship seat against destabilizing the state’s political balance.

He also described as deceitful the promises by some candidates to run for only one term, alleging that some of them were merely using their campaigns to extort unsuspecting members of the public.

According to Soludo, his administration’s achievements over the past four years justified his second-term bid.

He offered amnesty to armed groups still hiding in the forests, urging them to surrender and embrace rehabilitation or face the full weight of the law.

In a display of solidarity, APGA stakeholders in Anambra South presented a donation of ₦100 million to support Soludo’s campaign. Traditional rulers in the senatorial district also honoured him with the chieftaincy title of"Oluatuegwu", a title already conferred on him in Anambra North and Central.

A former aspirant for the senatorial ticket, Mr Akai Egwuonwu declared his total support for both Soludo’s re-election and Nwachukwu’s senatorial bid.

“Governor Soludo deserves a second term for his remarkable performance. We must all rally behind Emma Nwachukwu for the Senate. APGA must win on all fronts,” he said.
