Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo endorses President Bola Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 general elections, urging voters—particularly in the South-East—to avoid “wasting” their votes. Both outlets report that Soludo makes the declaration on Monday at an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Ebonyi State.

Soludo says progressives are now working together in the collective interest of the country and the region, and he calls on the South-East to align with mainstream national politics rather than what he describes as “lamentation” politics. He also tells Igbo voters not to waste their vote again, adding that he stands in solidarity because progressives are coordinating.

One source further reports that Soludo references the South-East’s past voting pattern for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), portraying the endorsement as a strategy to secure federal relevance going forward. Both reports present the endorsement as a political message delivered during an APC event and include references to campaign-style remarks captured in video coverage.
