Abuja, Nigeria – July 28, 2025 – The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Barrister Sly Ezeokenwa, has extended heartfelt congratulations to the National Leader of APGA and Executive Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo CFR (Odenigbo, Oluatuegwu) on the occasion of his 65th birthday.
In a tribute rich with warmth and admiration, Barrister Ezeokenwa described Prof. Soludo as a heaven-sent miracle to this generation—an intellectual colossus, a reform-minded leader, and a visionary statesman whose contributions continue to shape Anambra and redefine leadership standards across Nigeria.
“This milestone offers us a unique opportunity to reflect on and celebrate not just his globally respected career as a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and an acclaimed economist, but also his enduring legacy of public service, integrity, and futuristic governance,” Ezeokenwa stated.
The APGA National Chairman praised Soludo’s sterling leadership, marked by sweeping reforms, infrastructural revolution, and innovative human capital development initiatives such as the One Youth, Two Skills programme. He added that Prof. Soludo’s administration has repositioned Anambra as a model of subnational governance, earning admiration even across party lines.
“Under Prof. Soludo’s guidance,” the APGA National Chairman noted, “Anambra has witnessed unprecedented growth in education, security, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic stability. His policies have not only impacted lives but have also restored public trust in governance through transparency, inclusion, and result-driven leadership.”
Barrister Ezeokenwa acknowledged Prof. Soludo’s transformative influence within APGA, noting that his strategic direction has reinvigorated the party’s strength and relevance in Nigeria’s political arena. “I remain personally grateful for his support during my emergence as National Chairman. His trust in our shared vision is a testament to his unshakable belief in APGA’s future and its role in shaping Nigeria’s destiny,” he said.
As the Governor clocks 65, on behalf of the National Working Committee, Board of Trustees, entire membership, and teeming supporters of APGA, Barrister Ezeokenwa prayed for continued strength, wisdom, and divine protection upon him. “May Prof. Soludo continue to serve as a beacon of hope for Ndi Anambra, a steadfast pillar for our great party, and a guiding light for future generations of Nigerian leaders. His life remains a source of inspiration, and his leadership, a remarkable gift to our people,” he concluded.
