“Tinubu’s Visit to Anambra – Did He Just Endorse Soludo Over APC?”
Something interesting happened today in Awka—and it didn’t go unnoticed.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was in town on a working visit. He came to commission some of the impressive projects done by Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo. From roads to schools, the President saw it all. But beyond the ceremonies and speeches, Tinubu’s body language said a lot more than his words.
At the popular Alex Ekwueme Square, Tinubu praised Soludo heavily. He didn’t just thank him—he called him a friend and ally. In his own words:
“Governor Soludo is not just a friend; he is an ally—one of those who stood by me and advised me from the beginning of this journey.”
Now, here’s what stood out—not once did President Tinubu mention the Anambra State chapter of the APC. He didn’t commend their efforts, didn’t encourage party members, and didn’t even interact much with the local APC leaders. No handshakes. No private chats. No recognition.
Instead, all his focus was on Governor Soludo, who isn’t even in the same party—he’s APGA.
This has raised a big question: Has President Tinubu quietly written off the APC in Anambra? Is he saying, “Let Soludo lead—he’s doing well”?
Political watchers say Tinubu may be thinking long-term. Maybe he believes that in a state where APC hasn’t gained strong ground, it’s better to work with someone who already has the trust of the people—even if they’re from another party.
Whatever the case, today’s visit felt more like a quiet political statement. No noise. No drama. Just body language, and a lot of meaning between the lines.
