The Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has ridiculed Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s recent visit to President Bola Tinubu, branding it a last-minute gamble ahead of the November governorship election.
Okechukwu Modebe, spokesperson for the Nicholas Ukachukwu/Uche Ekwunife Campaign Organisation, issued the party’s response on Wednesday, August 13, describing the trip to the Presidential Villa as “the last kick of a dying horse” and an attempt to breathe life into a dwindling political career.
Soludo, of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, met Tinubu in Abuja on Tuesday and pledged support for the President’s 2027 re-election bid.
But the APC insisted the meeting was nothing more than political theatre.

“This latest attempt to posture for the cameras with Mr President cannot erase four years of misgovernance, disconnection from the grassroots, and political miscalculations.
“Parading such meetings as endorsements insults the intelligence of Anambra voters,” the statement read.
Modebe declared that the APC is well-positioned to capture the governorship and the August 16 Anambra South senatorial re-run, portraying the party’s candidate, Chief Azuka Okwuosa, as “a political iron-gate” who will prove APGA’s grip on the state is slipping fast.
He also called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to ensure a transparent contest, warning that “the days of business-as-usual in Anambra politics are over.”
