Anambra 2025: I didn't consult any native doctor, says Soludo
Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has dismissed allegations that he consulted a native doctor ahead of the upcoming November 8 governorship election, describing the claims as false and malicious.
Speaking through his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, in a statement released Wednesday in Awka, Soludo said the video fueling the rumour was taken out of context, saying that is the handiwork of mischief-makers.
“The attention of Anambra State Government has been drawn to a malicious and deliberately fabricated online publication and social media comments making spurious claims that Governor Soludo consulted a native doctor regarding his reelection prospects,” the statement read.
Aburime clarified that the video clip being circulated was recorded during a recent official engagement between the Governor and Anambra-based content creators at the Government House.
He explained that the session, organised by the Governor’s Special Senior Assistant on New Media, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, was aimed at building stronger collaboration with the creative industry as part of Soludo’s efforts to promote the state’s creative economy.
“The general public is advised to disregard the misinformation, as it is a clear attempt by detractors to misrepresent the Governor’s genuine efforts in supporting local talents and content creators.
“As part of the presentations, one of the content creators performed a native doctor skit, a common comic genre in Nigerian entertainment, to demonstrate their creative abilities to the Governor and other officials present.
“This was purely an entertainment performance by a content creator, not a consultation session,” the government said
