Ahead of the November 8 governorship election in Anambra state, Isuofia community, Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo's hometown, has organised a grand reception in his honour.
The ceremony, held in the community on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, attracted the who's who among the illustrious sons and daughters of the town, as well as friends and well-wishers.
The ceremony was organized to welcome the governor back home, thank him for making the community proud by reason of the good works he did as Anambra governor in his first tenure, and to assure him of their unalloyed support and prayers.
In his opening remarks during the event, the President General of Isuofia People's Union Federated, Engr.
Fidelis Okafor noted that the ceremony was not a political gathering or rally for the ruling All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), but a gathering meant to thank God for His magnanimity, and to ask for His blessings.
His words: "What we organize here today is not an APGA rally or political event. Rather, it is a gathering of brothers convened by people of Isuofia, to thank God Almighty for the great work He used our brother and son, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, to do as governor of Anambra state in the past three and a half years."
"We also want to use this occasion to commend the governor for accepting to be a vessel for a greater Anambra state, and to further assure him of our support come November 8, the governorship election day. We owe him nothing short of one hundred percent support. We, therefore, urge every son and daughter of Isuofia - every eligible voter in the community, to come out on Saturday, November 8, 2025, to give overwhelming support to our brother."
The PG, who recounted the state of the community and Anambra in general before Soludo became governor, especially in the areas of security and infrastructure, said that what their son, the governor, did in less than four years is unprecedented, and should be encouraged.
Earlier, the chairman of the occasion, Chief Patrick Ndubisi, who announced a donation of N200 million on behalf of the community to support Governor Soludo's re-election campaign, contended that the donation was nothing compared to the honour the governor brought to the community by way of development and good governance. Former President General of the community, Chief Jude Okeke, and the chairman of APGA, Isuofia Ward, Mrs Nonso Ewulum, also assured Governor Soludo of full support from the community.
Responding, Governor Charles Soludo thanked the Isuofia community for the honour accorded to him, and asked the people to replicate the same come November 8, the governorship election day. He said, "My people, Isuofia people; you sent me on this errand three and a half years ago. You prayed for me, supported me, and I went on the journey. Today, what is on the ground has proven that I have not disappointed you. I thank God for that."
