In a message directed at Ndị Igbo, Soludo urged a shift in political strategy from grievance-based politics to pragmatic engagement.

“I say to ụmụnne m ndị Igbo, enough of the politics of lamentations. We must now move from the alliance of protest to the alliance for progress—an alliance and partnership for prosperity for Ndigbo. We must now unite as Ndigbo; we must not waste our votes again,” he said.

The rally ended with renewed commitments to support the President’s vision for national development and political cooperation across party lines.
