He is too busy putting policies in the state to develop the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m one of those that will persuade him to run, and if he runs, I will ensure that he wins. He has shown himself to be what Anambra people want.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the indices favour Soludo. He is from Anambra South, and the zoning formula favours him. The zoning formula we have in Anambra is such that one is entitled to a second term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Soludo contests, I\u2019m sure he will win because he will not be telling anyone that he will do this or do that, he will rather show them what he has done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoludo has the right to contest for a second term. Those who are saying that they will contest against him are the same people who contested against him when he was not a governor and he won them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do you think that he will not win them again, now that he has evidence of what he has done for Anambra people?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoludo has verifiable, tangible achievements in Anambra, and all he needs to do is show Anambra people his scorecard to get reelected for a second term,\u201d Mefor said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
