In the recently concluded Anambra State governorship election held on November 8, 2025, incumbent Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) secured a resounding re-election victory, after securing 422,664 votes in total across all 21 local government areas.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Soludo the winner on early Sunday November 9, affirming his dominance with a margin that indicates strong voter approval for his administration’s performance over the past four years. This outcome marks APGA’s continued hold on the state since 2006, reflecting a preference for regional stability amid national political dynamics.
In the same vain, Reno Omokri, a vocal critic of Obi, amplified the defeat on X, describing it as “stunning” and emblematic of the “Obidient movement” collapsing without ethnic or religious mobilization. Omokri contrasted Soludo’s “godfather-free” win built on personal popularity—with Obi’s 2010 re-election, which he attributed to external endorsements like that from Dim Emeka Ojukwu.
He predicted similar setbacks for Obi in the 2027 presidential race, framing the outcome as validation of Soludo’s leadership over Obi’s “pretender” status in Anambra politics. This rhetoric aligns with ongoing online discourse questioning the sustainability.
Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga echoed this sentiment, mocking Obi on X as “the pontificator” unable to deliver his polling unit or bolster LP’s campaign, despite his high-profile involvement. Onanuga’s barb, posted amid jubilations from APGA supporters, underscores APC’s incremental gains in Anambra—its candidate Nicholas Ukachukwu placed second potentially positioning the party for stronger southeastern penetration ahead of 2027.
Analysts view these exchanges as early salvos in the national opposition’s fragmentation, with Soludo’s mandate reinforcing APGA’s autonomy from federal alliances while exposing vulnerabilities in LP’s regional base. View, More,
