Governor Soludo Engages Ndi Anambra in the USA/North America as Tour of Accountability and Inclusive Governance Continues

By Naomisophysblog

As the 2025 Anambra State governorship election draws closer, political candidates are crisscrossing the state, making promises and rallying support.

Yet, while opposition candidates are deep in campaign mode, Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, is taking a different approach, one that demonstrates his commitment to good governance over routine politics.

That is how statesmen and visionary leaders are separated from politicians; visionary leaders are mindful of leaving an enduring positive impact, while politicians are desperate to just win the next election.

On Sunday, July 6, the governor will engage with the Anambra Diaspora community in the US and North America at a town hall meeting in Maryland. This is not an election campaign stop; it is another chapter in his administration’s untiring dedication to accountability and inclusive governance that has been the trend in the past three years.

Governor Soludo’s decision to embark on this diaspora engagement at a time when others would be focusing solely on the upcoming election speaks volumes about his leadership philosophy. Unlike typical politicians who flood the airwaves with their usual empty promises as elections approach, Governor Soludo is choosing to let his record speak for itself. His administration has held similar town hall meetings this year: first in Lagos, then Abuja, and later in the UK/Europe, where he presented his achievements, addressed concerns, and outlined his vision for the future of Anambra State.

This upcoming US/North America meeting is a continuation of that noble tradition. It demonstrates that Prof. Soludo sees governance as a continuous contract with the people, not just a seasonal obligation tied to election cycles. While his opponents are busy making grand declarations or criticizing his government, Governor Soludo is busy reporting back to the people, proving that his administration values transparency and performance over political theatrics.

Since assuming office, Governor Soludo has pursued an ambitious solution agenda anchored on economic transformation, security, infrastructure, and human capital development. His administration has made a significant impact in areas such as

Security: Reducing crime through strategic interventions like Agunechemba and technology-driven policing; Infrastructure: Massive road construction and urban renewal projects across the state; Education: Overhauling the public school system, implementing free education policy, and recruiting thousands of teachers; Healthcare: building new general hospitals, upgrading others, hiring new doctors/nurses, and granting free antenatal services to women; Economic Growth: Attracting investments, industrializing, empowering youths, and so much more.

These achievements are tangible results that directly impact the lives of Anambra citizens.

By engaging the diaspora, Governor Soludo recognizes their critical role in the state’s development. In fact, many Ndi Anambra in the US and Canada are key investors, professionals, and philanthropists whose contributions can further accelerate the state’s growth. This town hall is an opportunity to align their expertise and resources with the state’s developmental goals.

Thus, the Diaspora town hall is a strategic engagement that reinforces Governor Soludo’s belief in participatory governance. Anambra’s global citizens deserve to be carried along in the state’s progress, and this meeting ensures they remain stakeholders, not just spectators from afar.

Moreover, it sends a powerful message that Governor Soludo is not a leader who governs in isolation. He listens, he reports, and he collaborates.

While opposition candidates scramble for attention with their usual empty promises, Governor Soludo’s confidence in his performance allows him to focus on governance. He understands that true leadership is not about loud campaigns but about measurable impact.

As he meets with Ndi Anambra in Maryland with his scorecard, the message will be ringing loud and clear: performance will always outweigh propaganda. It is also a reaffirmation that accountability should never take a back seat, even in an election season. In the end, that is what will matter most to the people of Anambra State.
