President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Charles Soludo, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, for winning the gubernatorial election in Anambra.
The President, in a statement by his media aide, Femi Adesina, on
Wednesday in Abuja also praised the security agencies for their
determination to ensure that the election went on as smoothly as
possible.
He equally commended the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, for the successful conclusion of the exercise,
despite the initial challenges encountered.
President Buhari enjoined Soludo, a member of the Presidential
Economic Advisory Committee, to rally other concerned parties to
tackle the enormous challenges confronting the state and the South-east
in general.
The President said he looked forward to working with the incoming
governor for the peace, security and development of not only Anambra,
but the entire country.
INEC declared Soludo of the APGA as the winner of the 6 November
governorship election, early Wednesday.
The former CBN governor defeated 17 other candidates to win the
election. He polled a total of 112,229 votes.
Some of the candidates are Victor Ozigbo of the Peoples Democratic
Party, Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress and Ifeanyi Ubah of
the Young Progressives Party.
