Anambra students pledge to buy nomination form for Soludo’s re-election

The members of National Association of Nigerian Students, Joint Campus Council, Anambra State, said they would purchase nomination form for the Anambra State governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo’s re-election bid ahead of the November 8, 2025 governorship election in the state.

The Chairman of the Council, Okoye Okpara, disclosed this while briefing journalists in Awka, on Friday.

Okpara, who is also the National Coordinator of ‘Solution Students Movement of Nigeria’, stated that the students body wishes to purchase the nomination form for the governor to enable him re-contest the November 8 governorship election because of his exemplary leadership qualities.

He, however, urged the governor to publicly declare his intention as soon as possible, saying if the governor fails to do so within 30-days, the students will protest across the roads and streets of Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi and Ekwulobia.

He said, “The protest is not to destroy any property but to push the governor to declare his second term ambition for anyone living in Anambra State to know. The election is just nine months away, and the governor is yet to make his intention known to the World.

“We, the students of Anambra State under the umbrella of NANS and Solution Students Movement of Nigeria wish to know because we are prepared to purchase the governorship nomination forms for him.

“We are doing this to reciprocate the governor’s dedication and commitment towards the welfare of Anambra students and for his continues transformation policies across the state, particularly, the ongoing ‘One Youth Two Skills’ acquisition programme in which students are also beneficiaries.”
