Anambra billionaire Prince Arthur Eze has thrown his weight behind Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s second-term ambition, declaring the governor’s leadership divinely ordained. The oil magnate made the endorsement during Soludo’s courtesy visit to his Abuja residence, positioning the November governorship election as a foregone conclusion.
“God destined Soludo to govern Anambra for eight years,” Eze proclaimed, praising the governor’s transformative impact on infrastructure and economic development. The billionaire drew symbolic parallels between the governor’s performance and his Igbo name ‘Chukwuma’ (God knows), asserting the alignment demonstrated celestial approval of his administration.
Soludo reciprocated the confidence, outlining his vision to harness Anambra’s human and natural resources for sustainable development. “There’s no greatness we envision for this state that lies beyond our reach,” the governor affirmed, subtly addressing political opponents whom Eze dismissed as lacking credible alternatives.
The endorsement from one of Southeast’s most influential businessmen signals growing consolidation of elite support behind Soludo’s re-election. With seven months to the polls, Soludo’s camp seems to be building an early momentum that blends technocratic governance with cultural persuasion strategies.
