Governor Chukwuma Soludo has been cleared by the All Progressives Grand Alliance to contest in the party’s primary election scheduled for Saturday, April 5, ahead of the November 8, 2025, governorship poll in Anambra State.

In a statement on Friday, APGA’s National Publicity Secretary, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, said over 3,260 delegates would participate in the primary, which he described as a “historic event” in the party’s history.

Opara noted that the screening process was peaceful and without controversy, adding that Soludo quietly picked up his expression of interest and nomination forms at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.

He said, “In a demonstration of its commitment to deepening democratic principles, the APGA has conducted a seamless screening process for Governor Chukwuma Soludo, paving the way for his candidacy in the upcoming primary election.

“Governor Soludo, who has been endorsed by various groups and individuals for a second term in office, quietly picked up his expression of interest and nomination forms at the APGA National Secretariat in Abuja.

“The party’s National Working Committee, led by Ezeokenwa Sly, has certified him fit for the primary election scheduled for April 5, 2025.

“This development marks a significant milestone in the history of Anambra State elections, as Governor Soludo becomes the first aspirant to seek re-election based on his proven track record of performance.

“The APGA primary election promises to be a historic event, with over 3,260 delegates set to choose their preferred candidate. The party’s leadership has been praised for its commitment to peaceful and stable politics, with the screening process conducted without any rancor or controversy.”

Opara also expressed optimism that APGA would continue to make a positive impact in the state through progressive leadership.

“With its emphasis on progressive leadership and solutions-driven governance, APGA is poised to continue making a positive impact in Anambra State,” he added.
