Residents of Anambra state have hailed the outcome of Saturday’s Governorship Election held across Anambra state, which produced Governor Chukwuma Soludo as the winner.

The view was reflected when our correspondent spoke with some residents of the state on Monday.

The Anambra State Chairman of the Civil Liberties Organization, Comrade Vincent Ezekwueme congratulated Governor Soludo on his electoral victory in the Anambra State 2025 governorship election, saying it was a well-deserved victory and an affirmation of the people's faith and confidence in his ability to continue to selflessly serve the state and humanity.

He also wished tremendous accomplishments in his second term.

Ezekwueme called on the Governor to be magnanimous in victory and ensure reconciliation and healing.

“We appeal to other contestants to accept the outcome of the election and not to embark on unnecessary litigations.

“Governor Soludo should extend his hand of fellowship to other contestants and advise his supporters to shun provocative utterances against opponents to douse tensions, because losers today may be winners tomorrow,” he advised.

Ezekwueme commended DIG Ben Okolo, CP Abayomi Shongule, and others for providing adequate security before, during, and after the election.

According to him, their prompt actions in response to distress calls deserve commendation and appreciation.

He said, “It is cheering news that when CP Abayomi Shongule was alerted of some miscreants who came to disrupt the election at Onitsha, he patriotically and promptly dispatched his men, and normalcy was restored.

“We thank the Anambra State electorate for their peaceful disposition and call on our political, religious, traditional, market, and Civil Society Organizations' leaders to earnestly educate our people to always participate in every periodic election."

On his part, the Sarkin Fulani Awka and Chairman, Arewa community in the state, Alhaji Gidado Siddiki, also hailed the governor’s victor, calling on him not to relent in providing dividends of democracy to Ndi Anambra.

“On behalf of the Arewa community in Anambra State, I congratulate His Excellency, Professor Charles Chukwuma  Soludo, on his well-deserved victory in the November 8th, 2025 governorship election.

“We commend the Independent National Electoral Commission and all security agencies for conducting a smooth, free, and fair election.

“Your Excellency, your re-election is a reflection of your good work and the progress seen across Anambra State. We urge all contestants to accept the result in good faith, as leadership comes from Allah.

“Congratulations once again, and may God grant you wisdom to continue leading Anambra to greater heights,” he said.
