Ahead of November governorship election in Anambra State, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Joint Campus Council, Anambra State, has promised to purchase the nomination form for Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo’s re-election bid.
Chairman of the Council, Comrade Okoye Matthew Okpara, disclosed this while briefing Journalists in Awka, the Anambra State capital.
Okpara, who is also the National Coordinator of Solution Students Movement of Nigeria, stated that the students’ body would purchase the nomination forms for the Governor to enable him to seek re-election in the November 8, 2025 governorship election because of his exemplary leadership qualities.
He however, urged the Governor to publicly declare his intention as soon as possible, threatening that if the Governor failed to do so within 30-days, the students would protest on the streets of Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi and Ekwulobia.
According to Okpara, the protest is not to destroy any property but to push the Governor to declare his second term ambition for anyone living in Anambra State to know.
“The election is just nine months away, and the Governor is yet to make his intention known to the world. We, the students of Anambra State under the umbrella of NANS and Solution Students Movement of Nigeria wish to know because we are prepared to purchase the governorship nomination forms for him.
“We are doing this to reciprocate the Governor’s dedication and commitment to the welfare of Anambra students and for his continued transformation policies across the state, particularly, the ongoing ‘One Youth Two’ skills acquisition programme of which students are also beneficiaries,” Okpara surmised.
