At a rally in Umunze, Orumba South Local Government Area, Soludo had promised cash rewards to wards that deliver victory for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). He pledged N1 million for each winning ward, and additional prizes of N5 million, N2 million, and N1 million for the top three performing wards.
