Winner of the Anambra Governorship election, Charles Soludo, who is candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, has reacted to the result of the election, saying it was the will of God.
Soludo, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, while giving his acceptance speech on Wednesday after he was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission said, “Let me say that with utmost humility and gratitude to God, I accept the result of the 2021 Anambra governorship election, as declared by INEC.
“And this reflects the supreme will of the Almighty God and the overwhelming sacred mandate of the people.”
He thanked his wife and children who encouraged him despite their reservations at some point. He said his victory in the election was a result of his perseverance in the last 12 years.
Soludo also thanked the incumbent governor, Willie Obiano; the leadership of his party, APGA, party faithful, as well as the residents of the state for their love and support all through the events that led to his victory in the poll.
He equally paid glowing tributes to the three policemen killed by gunmen in the period of the campaign, just as he extended a hand of fellowship to his co-contenders in the election to move the state forward.
