According to him, his administration has liberated eight local government councils under the control of criminals since assuming office last year and that is part of what ensured a peaceful and secure environment witnessed during and after the February 25 presidential and national assembly elections in Anambra which allowed the people to openly come out and participate in the election.
“Before now, not many people would have come out to vote, because of the security situation.
“Anambra people know that Governor Soludo is working very hard, and for them to sustain such work, they need to support the party of the governor.
“For those thinking that Soludo did not support Obi, they have to know that the governor did not interfere in the election, like some governors did, or even try to coerce anyone,” he said. Continue reading……..
Soludo used the opportunity to call on the people of Anambra to support his government by voting for candidates of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the March 18 House of Assembly election.
