Anambra State Governor, Governor Chukwuma Soludo, has expressed gratitude to the people of the state after his re-election.
Speaking on Sunday after his declaration as the winner of the governorship election, securing a second term alongside his deputy, Onyeka Ibezim, the governor stated that the renewed mandate is both a victory and a historic moment for the state.
According to the governor, who also addressed his supporters, the people had sent a strong message of confidence in his administration.
He recalled that in 2021, his first victory came amid low voter turnout, noting that the latest election saw a significant increase in citizen participation.
“Four years ago, you spoke and gave us your mandate. Anambra experimented with BVAS for the first time, and the turnout was extremely low. You elected us with 112,000 votes.
“This time, you have spoken loudly. In terms of the percentage of registered voters who participated, about 22 percent voted in this election. Never before. You broke the 20 percent glass ceiling,” he said.
He assured Anambra people that his administration will intensify efforts to deliver development across the state.
“We applied for this job. You employed us four years ago. What I can say, as we stated throughout the campaign, is that you have not seen anything yet. Like the Americans would say ‘You ain’t seen nothing yet, I want to say, with this trust, in partnership with you… we over the next four years can say loudly that we ain’t seen nothing yet” the governor added.
