2027: Soludo Urges Ndigbo to Support Tinubu, Saying “We Mustn’t Waste Our Votes Again”

Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, urged residents of the South‑East to support President Bola Tinubu, calling for a shift from an “alliance of protest” to an “alliance for progress and prosperity.”

Soludo made the appeal on X on Tuesday after publicly endorsing Tinubu at a rally organized by the Ebonyi State Government to back the president’s second‑term bid.

The governor attended the event with Ebonyi Governor Francis Nwifuru and other political figures, stating that progressives nationwide should unite behind Tinubu and his administration.

In a post on his X account following the rally, Soludo warned that the South‑East should avoid repeating past political decisions that he said failed to advance the region’s interests.

“Yesterday, I joined my brother, the Governor of Ebonyi State, His Excellency Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, alongside other progressives in Abakaliki to stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR,” he wrote.

“The time has come for us to unite. Enough of the politics of lamentations. Ndi Igbo, we must move from the alliance of protest to the alliance for progress—an alliance for prosperity. We must unite. We must not waste our votes again.”

During the rally, Soludo referred to Governor Nwifuru as “my own brother” and expressed solidarity with him over the endorsement of Tinubu.

“I am here on a solidarity march with my own brother, the Rt. Hon. Governor of Ebonyi State, who, by the grace of God, is governor until 2031,” the governor said.

“I am here in solidarity with you because today, you are endorsing the President and Commander‑in‑Chief of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.”

Soludo also called on progressives across the country to work together to strengthen national unity and support policies that promote development.

“I have come in solidarity because progressives are working together. It is time for progressives to unite,” he added.

The endorsement rally drew political leaders and supporters in Ebonyi State, who voiced their backing for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.
