The Anambra Leaders Forum has endorsed Hon. Chukwuma Umeoji as its preferred candidate to succeed governor Charles Soludo in the 2025 governorship election, citing Umeoji’s grassroots popularity, proven leadership experience, and ability to unify Anambrarians as key reasons for its endorsement.
Addressing journalists in Abuja yesterday, the convener of the Anambra Leaders Forum, Ozo Peter Nwafor, highlighted Umeoji’s extensive experience at various political levels, which has earned him a reputation as a leader with strong grassroots connections.
Nwafor emphasized that Umeoji’s ability to engage effectively with local communities ensures he understands the pressing needs of the people.
The forum also praised Umeoji’s distinguished career in the legislature and public service, noting that his experience has equipped him with the skills necessary for effective governance.
To demonstrate its commitment to his candidacy, the Forum announced its plan to purchase the APC governorship nomination form for Umeoji.
Nwafor said, “His experience, grassroots popularity, and proven leadership make him the ideal flagbearer to unify Anambrarians and secure victory against the incumbent, Governor Soludo.
“Umeoji presents a much-needed alternative—a leader with practical solutions to create jobs, improve local economies, and enhance security across the state.”
