Igbo must unite and build alliances to produce a president, Soludo says

Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo says the Igbo must overcome divisions and build alliances with other regions to improve their chances of producing Nigeria’s president. Soludo and his party, APGA, will back Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 and will not field a presidential candidate. His spokesperson, Christian Aburime, said Peter Obi’s Igbo identity alone was no reason to support him, as the two politicians belong to different parties and have different ideologies. Aburime also defended Tinubu’s economic reforms, including the removal of the fuel subsidy and foreign-exchange reforms.
