Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has firmly distanced himself from the ongoing agitation for the Sovereign State of Biafra, asserting that the future and prosperity of the Igbo people are inextricably linked to a united and indivisible Nigeria.
In a recent public statement, the Governor emphasized that the path to sustainable development and progress for the Igbo nation does not lie in secession. He stated clearly that “Igbo progress lies in Nigeria’s unity,” positioning his administration’s priorities firmly within the context of national integration and collaborative governance.
Governor Soludo’s declaration serves as a significant pushback against separatist movements, particularly those active in the South-East region. His stance indicates a strategic shift in focus towards leveraging the opportunities presented by a diverse, unified Nigeria rather than pursuing a standalone state. The statement urges stakeholders to redirect energies from political agitation to economic and social development within the current federal framework.
