Na who dey breeet?! Anambra Keke riders don shock everybody as dem drop bigger love letter for Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, telling am say make e no reason rest till im collect second term for November 8, 2025 guber election!
Na for one correct gathering wey happen for Awka dem yarn dis tori, under di umbrella of Anambra Keke Drivers’ Forum (AKDF). Dem no just talk oh — dem even launch campaign sticker wey carry “Soludo is the Best” for front like am na car plate. Everywhere stew!
Comrade Osita Obi, di ogbonge coordinator of di Forum, talk say di love wey Keke people get for Soludo no be ordinary — na because the man don clean road, chase touts comot, cut down wahala, and even reduce dem ticket levy from ₦15,000 to better ₦8,000 monthly. Talk about caring Governor wey sabi say Keke no be only steering — na livelihood!
Before Soludo enter, dem say Keke riders dey pay for everything — registration, end-of-year party, burial, even “who die today” levy! Comrade Obi say “all those yeye fees don japa” and now real drivers dey run things, no be one man cartel wey no sabi clutch.
Keke riders dey para say dem go soon rally up 15,000 members for one kind gbas-gbos public show of support wey go shake campaign ground. And dem make am clear say no be money dem dey find — all of dem get PVC and dem ready to vote with full chest!
One rider from Kogi, Yahaya Abdul Emmanuel, say e never feel love and respect like dis before. Him say before if two Keke men just gather, na wahala from touts go land. But now? Freedom don land! Dem fit gather, talk, even laugh without one agbero ask who born them.
Di Onitsha coordinator, Comrade Ugochukwu Adiele, nearly shed tears as e recall how touts dey terrorize drivers. Some Keke riders no dey return house — na mortuary. But now under Soludo, peace dey drive front seat!
And make we no lie — roads wey before be like river during dry season don turn smooth like newborn forehead. According to Comrade Ifeanyi Okafor, some roads wey be one-hour journey before now take 10 minutes. “If dem allow third term, we go vote am,” e shout.
For inside di event, na dancía, applause and loud “Soludo till 2029!” chants full ground. And dem swear say nobody sponsor dem — na pure love and appreciation drive dem waka.
For this matter, one thing clear: Keke people don start engine, and e be like say na Soludo dem dey carry go drop for Government House again!
Na who wan try pass dem? No try am, dem dey move in convoy!
