The Governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Mr. John Nwosu, over the weekend said that the state Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has heightened anxiety over his anticipated loss at the November 8 governorship polls in the state.

Nwosu in a statement by his campaign office was reacting to a statement credited to Governor Soludo arrogating two terms to himself as of right and castigating contestants who pledged one term in office

He said: "It is deeply concerning that Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo has resorted to name-calling, labeling, and stereotyping his political challengers ? even going as far as suggesting they require psychiatric evaluation.

"Such remarks reflect a growing anxiety and a clear realization that his time in office may be limited to a single term, largely due to his disappointing governance record."

While urging Soludo to rather focus on explaining the shortcomings of his administration and why the promise of his tenure remains unfulfilled, rather than hurling insults at those offering Anambra people a better alternative.

The statement added: "Among those vying to replace the Governor are credible candidates from the Anambra South Senatorial Zone, most notably Mr. John Chuma Nwosu of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

"These individuals have not only pledged to serve for one term but have done so in honour of the state's zoning arrangement ? a mark of statesmanship, integrity, and regional equity.

"Mr. Nwosu stands out as the only candidate who has sworn a public affidavit affirming his commitment to serve a single term in office. This public oath is a testament to his dedication to fairness and the rule of law ? values that should be celebrated, not mocked.

"Indeed, ?Pass six is not passing sense.? Anambra deserves e-government, not Soludo Archaic module."
