Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra has urged South-East political leaders to abandon opposition politics and embrace greater integration with the Federal Government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soludo made the call at a stakeholders\u2019 meeting on Sunday in Awka.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting had political leaders and grassroots mobilisers from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Accord Party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governor said that the coalition of political parties in support of President Bola Tinubu\u2019s re-election represented a new direction for the region\u2019s political engagement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, the era of opposition politics, which became prominent in the South-East during the 2015 general elections, should give way to active participation in governance at the centre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said that considerable work was required at the grassroots to change public perception of the government and mobilise support for the president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He argued that the 5,000 votes Tinubu received in Anambra in the 2023 presidential election had contributed to attracting significant projects to the state and the region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf 5,000 votes could attract these projects to our state and the region, imagine what would happen if we mobilised the electorate to give him massive support,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the economic reforms of the government, Soludo acknowledged efforts to stabilise foreign exchange availability and address fiscal challenges, noting that, although progress had been made, more work was required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He called for structural realignment of the coalition, saying existing campaign and mobilisation structures would be streamlined during the week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governor urged grassroots mobilisers to adopt door-to-door campaigns, drawing lessons from successful political mobilisation strategies used during the 1983 elections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also advised campaign teams not to be distracted by opposition criticism and verbal attacks on social media, but to remain focused on communicating what he described as the truth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soludo reaffirmed his commitment to long-term governance, saying that the decisions being taken by his administration were aimed at securing a prosperous future for generations to come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier, APGA National Chairman, Mr Sly Ezeokenwa, described the gathering as a landmark in the political history of Anambra.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ezeokenwa said that the coalition was an unprecedented political alignment involving different parties united in support of Tinubu\u2019s re-election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He commended Soludo for providing leadership and facilitating the alliance, assuring that APGA would fully support the governor\u2019s political direction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur party structure is ready to execute the instructions and deliver results at the polls,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also speaking, APC Chairman in Anambra, Sen. Emma Anosike, expressed appreciation for the development strides in the state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anosike said that the political realignment was aimed at positioning Anambra more directly within the government\u2019s political and developmental framework.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He called for cooperation and solidarity among political parties, irrespective of their differences, to achieve the objectives of the coalition.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/11\/stop-opposition-politics-integrate-with-fg-soludo-tells-south-east-leaders\/\">Stop opposition politics, integrate with FG, Soludo tells South-East leaders<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <\/p>\n<div class=\"nSourse\">Vanguard News<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
