Anambra State Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo has called on the City Boy Movement to intensify mobilisation efforts for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in the 2027 general elections. Speaking during an interaction with women coordinators of the movement at the Light House in Awka, Soludo advised members to view politics as a platform for advancing societal development and maximising benefits for the people.
Soludo's Daughter Leads Women's Wing
Legit.ng reports that Governor Soludo's daughter, Adaora Soludo, serves as the Anambra State Women Coordinator of the City Boy Movement. The governor noted that his administration has deliberately created opportunities for greater involvement of women and youths in governance, emphasising that women and young people should actively participate in shaping the country's political future.
Strategic Voting for Igbos
Soludo, a member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), urged the Igbo people to be more strategic in their political calculations. He called on Igbos to avoid what he described as wasting their votes in future elections. 'In politics, people do not get what they deserve; they get what they bargain for. In a democracy, the principal currency for that bargain is the vote,' he said.
He further urged members of the movement to mobilise resources, organise effectively, and develop sound political strategies, assuring them of his full support. 'You have a significant role to play, and I will support your initiatives to the best of my ability,' Soludo added.
The governor's remarks come as political realignments intensify ahead of the 2027 presidential election, with various groups and stakeholders positioning themselves to support or challenge President Tinubu's bid for a second term.
