Students in Anambra State, under the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), have pledged to purchase the nomination form for Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s re-election ahead of the November 8, 2025, gubernatorial election.

Speaking to journalists in Awka, the Chairman of the Joint Campus Council, Okoye Okpara, revealed that the decision stems from the governor’s exemplary leadership and his commitment to the welfare of Anambra students.

“We are doing this to reciprocate the governor’s dedication and commitment towards the welfare of Anambra students and for his continuous transformation policies across the state, particularly, the ongoing ‘One Youth Two Skills’ acquisition programme,” Okpara said.

Okpara, who also serves as the National Coordinator of the ‘Solution Students Movement of Nigeria,’ called on Soludo to publicly announce his intention to run for a second term.

He warned that if the governor does not declare within 30 days, students would stage protests across major cities in the state, including Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, and Ekwulobia.

“We want the governor to declare his second-term ambition, as the election is just nine months away, and the governor is yet to make his intention known to the public,” Okpara added.

This move marks a significant show of support from the student body as they rally behind the governor’s leadership.
