Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has reportedly stirred up controversy after a video surfaced showing him in the presence of a native doctor allegedly invited to the Government House to seek spiritual insight concerning his chances of securing reelection.
The claim was made by an X (formerly Twitter) user identified as @ChuksEricE, who shared the video along with a caption alleging that Governor Soludo is turning to spiritual consultation in a bid to understand whether the electorate would return him to power in the forthcoming election cycle.
