My election victory for Anambra people – Soludo

Chukwuma Soludo, governor-elect of Anambra State, has said his victory in the gubernatorial election was for the overall victory of Anambra people within and outside the state, urging his opponents to join hands and build the state.

Soludo, who was candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) was announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the early hours of Wednesday morning as the winner of the election after scoring a total score of 112,229 votes to defeat his closest rival, Valentine Ozigbo of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who polled 53, 807 to emerge second.

But in an acceptance speech shortly after being announced winner of the election, Soludo noted that his victory had brought joy and hope for the people of the state.

“There is joy in the land; kudos to INEC; I wish to congratulate my gallant opponents in the election.

“The ultimate winner is the Anambra people; I hereby extend my hand of fellowship to my opponents. I need your support to take the state to greater heights, let’s come together. There is enough space for people to serve the state,” Soludo said.
