Governor Soludo Sparks Debate Over Alleged Visit by Native Doctor to Anambra Government House
Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has sparked widespread controversy after a viral video surfaced allegedly showing him hosting a native doctor at the Anambra Government House to seek spiritual insight regarding his re-election prospects.
The claim was made by a user identified as @ChuksEricE on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), who alleged that the governor invited a traditional spiritualist to perform rituals and offer revelations about his political future ahead of the next election cycle.
In the video circulating online, Governor Soludo is seen holding a microphone and standing quietly as the native doctor carries out what appear to be ritualistic activities. No official statement has been released by the governor or his office, but the viral post suggests he was awaiting a spiritual pronouncement on whether the people of Anambra would support his bid for a second term.
The video has ignited intense public discourse, drawing mixed reactions across social media.

Critics have condemned the governor for what they describe as an inappropriate blending of politics and traditional spirituality. Others, however, have come to his defense, citing cultural heritage and the personal right to seek spiritual guidance in any form.
As the discussion grows, questions are being raised about the role of spiritual consultations in public leadership** and how such actions might influence public trust, governance standards, and the image of political institutions in Nigeria.
