The Anambra State governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has tasked the women coordinators of the City Boy Movement in the state on strategic and greater participation, stressing that the movement must operate with a clear understanding of their role in coordinating for the state. Soludo emphasised that Ndigbo must avoid wasting their votes in future electoral cycles, adding that women and youths hold the essential key to driving meaningful development in Anambra State and in Nigeria at large. The governor stated this while addressing the state Women Coordinators of the City Boy Movement during their interaction at the Light House in Awka, on Monday. He pointed out that his administration is intentionally focused on fostering greater participation for these groups in government. He expressed excitement regarding the activities of the women’s wing thus far, noting that he is impressed by their active participation in politics. He urged the women to curate their future according to their vision, framing his efforts as a social crusade and a push for a legal framework aimed at re-engineering society toward a more prosperous future. He said, “The future of generations to come is currently at stake. The movement must operate with a clear understanding of its role in coordinating for Anambra State. My desire is for Ndigbo to avoid wasting their votes in future electoral cycles.

Reflecting on the previous election cycle, the governor said, “Asiwaju Bola Tinubu secured victory without significant support from the South-East. We therefore tasked the women to mobilise effectively to ensure a successful second term for the President. Your objective in politics should be to maximise benefits for the society.” Concluding his address, Soludo pledged his absolute and total support to the group, affirming that they have a significant role to play and that he will back their initiatives to the best of his ability.
