President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reiterated his commitment to partnering with all progressive-minded state governments to deepen democracy, strengthen security, and transform the economy.
Speaking after a meeting with the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, at the Aso Villa on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, the President described the governor as “a friend of over two decades” and commended his efforts in championing development in the state.
