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.
