Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo
Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has denied allegations that he consulted a native doctor over his re-election prospects in the November 8 governorship election in the state.
A video currently circulating on social media has sparked controversy, with commentators alleging it showed Soludo was engaging a traditional doctors.
Reacting via a statement issued by his Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, the governor described the viral video and publications as completely false and maliciously fabricated.
Aburime, in a statement issued on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, stated that the footage was taken during his recent official engagement with Anambra-based content creators.
Aburime said the event was organised by Soludo’s Special Senior Assistant on New Media, Ejimofor Opara, as part of efforts to promote Anambra’s creative economy.
He stated: “During the interactive session, content creators were encouraged to present their talents and discuss the challenges facing the industry.
“One of the attendees performed a comedic skit involving a native doctor character — a common trope in Nigerian online comedy.
“This was purely an entertainment performance and not an actual consultation. The claim that Governor Soludo sought the services of a native doctor is entirely false.
“It is disheartening that political opponents would distort an innocent artistic presentation to mislead the public.”
Aburime said Soludo was confident of reelection based on his performance and the ongoing implementation of the Solution Agenda – his administration’s blueprint.
Aburime added that the recently inaugurated Solution Fun City project reflected Soludo’s administration’s commitment to empowering the entertainment and tourism sectors.
Aburime quoted Soludo as urging Anambra State residents, media outlets, and social media users to disregard the “misleading narrative”.
“Governor Soludo remains focused on building a livable and prosperous Anambra and will not be distracted by politically motivated falsehoods,” the governor’s CPS added.
