The Commissioner for Information in Anambra State, Dr. Law Mefor on Friday urged opposition parties in the state to avoid wasting their monies by collectively adopting the state Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo for the November 8, 2025, governorship election.

Mefor who stated this when the Anambra Deserves Soludo Solution team, led by Dr. Jude Emecheta paid him a courtesy visit in his office at the Jerome Udeorji Secretariat in Awka noted that anyone who claims that Anambra does not deserve Soludo should step forward and tell the people of Anambra who they believe is deserving of the position.

He said: ?I urge the opposition parties to come together and adopt Prof. Charles Soludo as the sole candidate for the forthcoming governorship election.

?Although it is the constitutional right of every individual to contest for the governorship of the state, it would be a waste of resources because there is no vacant position In Agu Awka. The governor has done well, and Anambra deserves him. Leaders like Soludo come once in a while.

?He has offered prudent management of the resources of Ndi Anambra.

?Soludo is the only governor in Nigeria whose capital expenditure exceeds that of his recurrent expenditures.

?The governor spends over 70 percent on capital projects and 30 percent on recurrent expenditures. He has built many legacy projects in the state without borrowing a kobo. This is a mark of judicious management of resources.

?Those aspiring to contest against Soludo should instead use their resources to develop their various communities, rather than engage in a fruitless exercise.?

Earlier in his speech, the leader of the team, Dr. Jude Emecheta, introduced the group to the commissioner, saying that they were in the commissioner?s office to brief him on their activities.

He said the group Is embarking on a tour of Soludo?s projects across the state to inform Ndi Anambra about the governor?s developmental strides.

Emecheta appealed to the commissioner to always provide the group with updates on news regarding the governor?s projects
