Awka, Anambra state - Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, has expressed strong confidence that Chukwuma Charles Soludo will retain power in the Anambra state governorship election, scheduled for Saturday, November 8, 2025, crediting the governor's performance across key sectors.
Speaking in a video posted on his X (formerly Twitter) page, Primate Ayodele said there was no reason for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to lose sleep over the polls, insisting that Soludo’s achievements in infrastructure, education, and economy had made Anambra state better.

Legit.ng reports that the 2025 Anambra gubernatorial election will take place to elect the governor. Soludo, the incumbent No.1 citizen of the state, is on the ballot to run for a second term under APGA.
Primate Ayodele said:
"Anambra people, if you want the best person who can make Anambra better, it is Soludo. However, they are going to fight Soludo; the opposition wants to fight him. They are going to bring cracks - leadership cracks. They want his party to derail; they want to bring confusion."
Ayodele added:
"Don't allow them to cast a spell on your party, Soludo. I want you to be ready for them physically, spiritually, and economically.
"Soludo has all it takes to win his re-election bid. I am not seeing who can compete with him. I will only advise other candidates to step down for Soludo and support him for good governance. Don't waste your money; Soludo will come back."

Soludo issues warning to Anambra voters
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Governor Soludo called on the people not to disrupt the ongoing zoning arrangements among the three senatorial districts in Anambra State, which have enabled power to rotate among the three zones - one after another - without friction.
The Anambra governor cautioned that voting for a candidate outside the Anambra South district in the November 8, 2025, election in the state will disrupt zoning. He also warned that voting for any candidate from Anambra South other than him would mean giving the zone 12 years, as opposed to the normal eight years.
