Orji Uzor Kalu, a senator representing Abia North, has predicted that Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo will eventually join the All Progressives Congress (APC). Kalu believes Soludo, a member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), shares similar progressive ideals with himself, President Bola Tinubu, and other APC leaders. He stated that Soludo’s alignment with the APC is inevitable, given his political disposition and developmental outlook.
Kalu’s statement comes after Soludo’s re-election as Anambra State Governor, defeating APC’s Nicholas Ukachukwu by over 300,000 votes. The senator emphasized that Soludo’s progressive nature and commitment to development make the APC a natural fit. He also dismissed claims that the APC pressures politicians to defect, stressing that membership is voluntary and driven by shared ideology.
Kalu reiterated his commitment to the APC, saying he would always stand with the party, regardless of personal ties. He expressed confidence that Soludo would eventually realize that the APC is the best platform to achieve his developmental goals. The senator’s prediction has sparked interest in the political landscape, with many wondering if Soludo will indeed join the APC.
Soludo, who has been a key figure in Anambra State politics, has not publicly commented on Kalu’s statement. However, his actions and policies have been seen as aligning with progressive ideals, fueling speculation about his potential move to the APC. Only time will tell if Kalu’s prediction will come to pass, but for now, it remains a topic of discussion among Nigerian politicians and pundits.
