In a statement issued on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Monday Uzor, the Ebonyi governor said the outcome of the November 8 governorship election was a clear endorsement of Soludo’s sterling performance during his first term in office.

Governor Nwifuru expressed confidence that Soludo’s re-election would further consolidate democratic ideals, promote good governance, and strengthen the Igbo-centric development agenda aimed at uplifting the South-East region.
“As a fellow governor and brother in the service of our Igbo region and nation, Nigeria, I look forward to deeper collaboration between Anambra and Ebonyi States in our shared pursuit of regional integration, economic transformation, and the uplift of our people,” he added.
The statement added, “The governor commended Soludo for his dedication to infrastructural development, youth empowerment, and innovative governance, describing him as a visionary leader whose policies continue to inspire progress across the region.
“Governor Nwifuru reaffirmed his commitment to partnering with other South-East governors to strengthen unity, peace, and socio-economic growth across the region, noting that collective action remains key to the advancement of the Igbo people.”
