In his usual display of regional cooperation and political decorum, Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, has expressed a warm welcome to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on his visit to the Southeast region today, January 4, 2025, saluting his liberal leadership style. The President is in Enugu State to commission developmental projects completed under Governor Peter Mbah’s administration.
Governor Soludo’s welcome gesture underscores his commitment to fostering productive federal-state relations while advancing the interests of the Southeast region. The visit of President Tinubu to the Southeast for project commissioning demonstrates the federal government’s attention to our region’s development.
In the same vein of goodwill, Governor Soludo has also congratulated his counterpart, Governor Mba of Enugu State on his developmental strides, revealing that they are in tandem with similar positive developments being implemented in Anambra State also.
As President Tinubu commissions projects in neighbouring Enugu State, political observers suggest that Governor Soludo’s balanced approach – embracing federal presence and supporting projects by fellow Southeast governors– could serve as a boost for Southeast regional cooperation in navigating federal-state relations effectively beyond party politics and partisan affiliations.
