Governor Soludo will meet Anambra indigenes in the U.S. to strengthen Diaspora engagement and transparency.
The Maryland event reflects his focus on performance-driven leadership over election campaign promises.
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, is set to meet with Anambra indigenes living in the United States and North America as part of his ongoing efforts to promote transparency, inclusive governance, and community engagement.
According to a statement issued on Saturday by his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, the upcoming engagement forms part of a broader tradition by the governor to regularly update citizens on his administration’s progress and maintain an open channel of communication. The statement emphasized that Soludo views governance not as a one-time activity for elections, but as a continuous relationship built on trust and accountability.
“This is not an election campaign stop; it is another chapter in his administration’s untiring dedication to accountability and inclusive governance that has been the trend in the past three years,” the statement read.
The meeting is scheduled to take place on Sunday, July 6, in Maryland, United States. It is expected to draw professionals, business leaders, and other Anambra citizens living abroad.
Aburime explained that the governor’s choice to engage the Diaspora at this time, rather than focus solely on political campaigns, shows a clear difference between governance and politics. “Soludo’s decision to embark on this Diaspora engagement at a time when others would be focusing solely on the upcoming election speaks volumes about his leadership philosophy,” he said.
He added that while other politicians are busy making lofty promises ahead of the 2025 governorship election, Soludo is focused on showcasing real achievements. “Unlike typical politicians who flood the airwaves with their usual empty promises as elections approach, Soludo is choosing to let his record speak for itself,” Aburime noted.
Similar town hall sessions have already been held in Lagos, Abuja, and most recently, in the United Kingdom and Europe, where the governor shared updates on his work and interacted with citizens.
Highlighting the achievements of the Soludo-led government, Aburime pointed to improvements in security, road construction, urban renewal, public education reforms, youth empowerment, and overall economic development. These, he said, are part of the governor’s “Solution agenda” focused on transforming the state through effective leadership and planning.
“These achievements are tangible results that directly impact the lives of Anambra citizens,” Aburime stated. “By engaging the Diaspora, Soludo recognizes their critical role in the state’s development. In fact, many Ndi Anambra in the US and Canada are key investors, professionals, and philanthropists whose contributions can further accelerate the state’s growth.”
He further described the town hall as an opportunity to unite the ideas, experience, and resources of the Diaspora with the state’s ongoing development plans.
“Governor Soludo is not a leader who governs in isolation. He listens, he reports, and he collaborates,” Aburime continued. “While opposition candidates scramble for attention with their usual empty promises, Governor Soludo’s confidence in his performance allows him to focus on governance.”
He concluded by saying that Soludo’s meeting with the Anambra community in Maryland will serve as a clear signal that performance, not propaganda, remains the benchmark of true leadership.
“Accountability should never take a back seat, even in an election season,” Aburime said. “In the end, that is what will matter most to the people of Anambra State.”
