“Former President Goodluck Jonathan arrives at Chinua Achebe Airport, Umueri, for Soludo’s second term,” the media revealed.
It was earlier reported that Vice President Shettima, former Presidents Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, were expected in Anambra State for the ceremony.
Several high-profile personalities, including elder statesmen such as former Commonwealth Secretary-General Emeka Anyaoku, were also expected to attend.
The event is being held at the newly renovated Alex Ekwueme Square. Traditional rulers from the 179 communities in the state, as well as monarchs from other parts of Nigeria, are in attendance.
Governor Soludo was re-elected on November 8, 2025, on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, which has mobilised members from all 326 political wards to attend the inauguration.
Security has been tightened across the state, with personnel from the police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Federal Road Safety Corps, and other agencies deployed to strategic locations.
The governor and his deputy marked the end of their first tenure on Sunday with an interdenominational thanksgiving service at the International Convention Centre.
