The governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, congratulated Nigerians nationwide on the victorious elections, as well as the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and all other winners on February 25 and March 18.
Soludo also praised Nigerian youngsters in a statement he personally signed on Tuesday, referring to them as the general election heroes of 2023, whose voices will continue to be crucial in the creation of a new Nigeria.
After the elections, the governor of Anambra stated that the country’s problems, including the economy and insecurity, should now be addressed. He added that everyone should be concerned about the insecurity wreaking havoc in the South-East.

According to him, critical to addressing the problem of insecurity in the South-East is the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in detention for long months.
Soludo said, “The 2023 general elections in Nigeria have come and gone. To me, the true heroes of the last elections are the citizens of Nigeria, especially the youth, whose voices will continue to be critical as we collectively strive to build a new Nigeria. Nigeria is the winner, and I am confident that a better future lies ahead of us.
“Let me also congratulate the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on his election. We congratulate your closest opponents for their courageous and impressive outing.
“Nigeria needs healing and restructuring, and the fundamental challenges of insecurity and the economy remain humongous.
“We pledge to collaborate and partner with you and the Federal Government for the development of Anambra State and Nigeria. This is the only country that we call ours and we must make it work.

“In this regard, may I repeat my previous calls and hereby request our President-elect to release Nnamdi Kanu immediately after swearing-in (that is, if he is not released before then). We need him around the table as an important stakeholder in discussions about healing and sustainable peace in the South-East.
“While our efforts with the security agencies are yielding significant results, we believe that sustainable peace and security will be enhanced through wider non-kinetic engagements with all critical stakeholders.”
