Anambra Governor Soludo Reportedly Set to Join APC, Leaving APGA

The news reports that Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State is considering defecting from the APGA to the APC, according to former Abia State Governor Orji Uzor Kalu. Kalu mentioned that Soludo shares similar political ideals with APC leaders like Bola Tinubu and Godswill Akpabio.

Despite rumors of pressure to switch parties, Kalu emphasized that Soludo's decision to join the APC would be voluntary. Soludo recently won re-election for a second term, defeating APC candidate Nicholas Ukachukwu by a significant margin.

Observers believe Soludo's potential defection could reshape Anambra's political landscape, especially as the APC aims to strengthen its influence in the Southeast region ahead of the 2027 general elections.
