Senator Uche Ekwunife, CON, Ph.D., the Deputy Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 8 Anambra governorship election, has congratulated Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, on securing a second term in office.
In a statement titled “A Message of Congratulations to Prof. Chukwuma Soludo and Gratitude to My Esteemed Supporters,” Ekwunife expressed appreciation to her supporters, campaign team, and the people of Anambra for what she described as their unwavering commitment throughout the electioneering period.
She described their loyalty as a “victory of faith, unity, and hope that no ballot can erase,” and acknowledged the role played by her running mate, Prince Dr. Nicholas Ukachukwu, along with the wide support they received across the state.
“Though the election outcome may not have been what we desired, I am profoundly proud of the effort we put into this race. I deeply appreciate our campaign team and all my supporters for standing firm and believing in our vision to serve Anambra with compassion, courage, and competence,” she said.
Ekwunife also commended young people and mothers who, according to her, worked tirelessly for the campaign, noting that their contributions showed that “politics can indeed be about people and purpose.”
Calling for unity after the polls, the former senator urged her supporters and the wider Anambra public to embrace peace and support every effort aimed at the state’s growth. She emphasized that the collective interest of Anambra should remain paramount.
“I sincerely wish His Excellency, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, success in leading Anambra to greater heights. When Anambra succeeds, we all succeed,” she stated.
