The fact that Soludo stood head and shoulder over and above the other contestants did not impress the naysayers. They argued that “book people” like Soludo do not usually make it at elections in Nigeria. They said they had seen the likes of Soludo before. They said the contest was not about erudition. His acceptance by the electorate over the other contestants was not in doubt.īeyond the aforementioned factors which Soludo’s victory has rendered impotent and untenable, there was the usual feeling that Soludo would not make it after all, regardless of his sterling academic credentials. Soludo did not just win the election, he won overwhelmingly.
As it turned out, Soludo’s emergence has given a lie to these permutations. It was imagined, somehow, that Anambra would fall to APC’s desperate chase for a foothold in the south east. It has been struggling beyond measure to ensure that it establishes its reign and rule in the region. This absence of a foothold in the zone has got the APC gasping.
At its ascension to power in 2015, the APC had zero presence in the South East zone of the country. The other was hinged on the rampaging drive of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the country’s ruling political party. The impression this left was that the party is no longer strong enough to win elections, especially the governorship election, in Anambra state. One was based on the feeling in political circles that Governor Willie Obiano has mismanaged APGA, leaving it a shadow of its old, vibrant self. This impression was rife for a number of reasons. It was believed in certain quarters that the unbeaten reign of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State would be truncated this time. Bookmakers had imagined that the Anambra governorship election would be keenly contested. The reason for all this is simple enough. Nigerians of different persuasions have found reason to congratulate a man who has won an election in a spectacular manner. A flurry of commentaries has suffused the atmosphere. Since his emergence as governor-elect last week, the entire Nigerian polity has gone torrent. That is Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, the man who has just been elected as the next governor of Anambra state. He has been desirous of making a difference. He has had to espouse all this through his governorship quest. He has talked about ADT (African Dubai Taiwan ).
We have heard him talk about the Soludo Solution.
