President Tinubu Receives Governor Soludo at the Villa

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu received the Governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Tuesday, August 12, 2025.

Governor Soludo’s party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), had earlier endorsed President Tinubu for a second term. In a reciprocal gesture, President Tinubu praised Soludo’s achievements in Anambra State and acknowledged the state’s progress under his leadership, stating that “Anambra is rising.”

There is a growing public perception that President Tinubu and Governor Soludo are forging a close working relationship. A phrase both leaders have frequently used—”the progressives are working together”—appears to underscore this political alignment.

However, the implications of this alliance for the APC’s own candidate in Anambra remain unclear. Political observers are watching closely to see how this evolving partnership may shape the party’s strategy in the state ahead of the next election cycle.
