Soludo emphasized that women and youths hold the essential key to driving meaningful development across both Anambra State and the nation at large, adding that his administration remains intentionally focused on fostering their greater participation in governance.
In a strong message directed at the region’s political strategy, Governor Soludo cautioned that the future of upcoming generations is at stake and declared that Ndigbo must avoid wasting their votes in upcoming election cycles.
He urged the coordinators to look beyond emotional politics, advising that the movement must begin to “play politics with their heads”.
Explaining the transactional nature of democratic systems, Soludo noted that individuals do not receive what they naturally deserve in politics, but rather what they successfully bargain for, using the vote as their primary currency.
Reflecting openly on the previous general election, the governor pointed out that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu clinched the presidency without securing significant support from the South-East geopolitical zone.
Consequently, he tasked the women to mobilize resources and strategize effectively to ensure a successful second term for the President, framing the objective as a way to maximize structural benefits for the entire society.
Soludo pledged his absolute and total support to the group, promising to back their initiatives to the best of his ability.
Earlier in the program, the Women Coordinator of the Anambra State Chapter, Mrs. Adaora Soludo, explained that the movement’s primary objective remains the active promotion and support of the Tinubu-led administration.
She noted that the group is strategically positioned to serve as a vital bridge between the government and the populace, ensuring that federal developmental policies are properly understood at the local levels.
The high-profile event was also attended by the Secretary to the Anambra State Government, Mrs. Chiamaka Nnake, and the Chairman of Idemili South Local Government Area, Mrs. Amaka Obi, who joined the wing in reaffirming their commitment to deepening the support base of the administration.
