APGA NATIONAL CHAIRMAN MARRIES TRADITION, CHARITY, AND POLITICS IN SUPPORT OF GOVERNOR SOLUDO

APGA Publicity Committee 

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Barr. Sylvester Ezeokenwa, engaged in a series of significant events yesterday, demonstrating the party's deep commitment to cultural tradition, social charity, and political solidarity within Anambra State.

The day commenced with a solemn mass held at the palace of His Royal Majesty, Igwe R.N. Iloh (Igwe Ugochimalueze Ise Nise) in Nise. Chief Ezeokenwa’s attendance at this sacred service served as a prelude to the community's esteemed New Yam Festival (Iwa Ji), reflecting APGA’s profound respect for the custodians of the region's culture and heritage.

The New Yam Festival remains a vital cultural celebration, deeply rooted in preserving the rich heritage and traditions of the people. Chief Ezeokenwa's participation highlighted the party's role as a staunch advocate for the preservation and promotion of local identity and customary practices.

Following the spiritual and cultural observance in Nise, the APGA National Chairman attended a fundraising event hosted by His Lordship, Most Rev. Paulinus Chukwuemeka Ezeokafor, the Catholic Bishop of Awka. The fundraiser was aimed at supporting the construction of an Orphanage and Welfare Home for the elderly and aged, a noble project initiated by the Catholic Diocese of Awka.

Chief Ezeokenwa expressed his profound gratitude to the Church for its compassionate initiative, which seeks to provide critical care and support for society's most vulnerable members. He publicly commended the project as a testimony to the community's shared values of charity and social responsibility.

The Chairman described his participation in the fundraiser as a blessing and a meaningful occasion. His presence at the event reinforced APGA's alignment with community-driven humanitarian initiatives and its support for institutions that work to strengthen the social fabric of Anambra State.

The day's engagements culminated at the Christ the King Catholic Church Field in Ekeagu Abatete, where Chief Ezeokenwa joined the Homecoming Ceremony of Hon. Dr. Ifeanyichukwu Anthony Ibezi. The event dynamically transformed into a Mega Rally in support of Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo’s bid for a second term in the upcoming November 8 gubernatorial election.

The rally featured a large and enthusiastic gathering of party faithful, supporters, and community leaders. Chief Ezeokenwa addressed the crowd, rallying steadfast support for the APGA governorship candidate, Professor Soludo, while also celebrating the homecoming of a prominent party stalwart, Hon. Dr. Ibezi.

Throughout these diverse gatherings—from a royal palace to a church fundraiser to a political rally—a single, unifying fact was overwhelmingly clear: the deep and enduring connection between the people of Anambra and the All Progressives Grand Alliance.

The seamless transition of the APGA National Chairman through these events powerfully reaffirmed the prevailing sentiment that "Anambra is APGA." The party's leadership remains steadfast in its commitment to governing with a philosophy that cherishes tradition, champions social welfare, and drives progressive development for all citizens.

APGA Osun Launches YouTube Studio, Podcasting Initiative to Boost Public Engagement

APGA OSUN LAUNCHES YOUTUBE STUDIO, PODCASTING INITIATIVE TO BOOST PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

 

In a move to strengthen its outreach and communication strategy, the Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA Osun) has launched a new YouTube studio, marking a significant milestone in its efforts to connect with the public and amplify its message.

The state-of-the-art facility, aimed at enhancing the party’s multimedia presence, will serve as the hub for APGA Osun’s podcasting initiatives, interviews, skits, and other forms of digital content. This groundbreaking initiative was spearheaded by the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Oluwabusuyi Oluwabamigbe, and is expected to redefine the way the party communicates with its audience.

The decision to open a dedicated YouTube studio and delve into podcasting reflects the party's commitment to leveraging modern technology and multimedia platforms to reach a broader audience, particularly the youth demographic. In an era where digital media plays an increasingly central role in shaping public opinion and political engagement, the party recognizes the necessity of embracing innovative communication methods to effectively share its ideals, policies, and vision.

Mr. Oluwabamigbe, the brain behind the initiative, expressed his enthusiasm for the new venture, emphasizing its role in creating an accessible and interactive channel for dialogue between the party and the people of Osun State. "This is a strategic step toward engaging with the electorate on a deeper level. With the growing influence of online platforms, it is imperative for political parties like ours to meet people where they are — in the digital space. Our aim is to use this platform to disseminate information, conduct interviews, and engage the public in meaningful conversations," he said.

The YouTube studio will be used for a variety of content, including interviews with political leaders, party members, and key stakeholders, providing a transparent and unfiltered view into the activities of the party. In addition, the studio will feature skits, discussions, and other promotional content designed to entertain, inform, and recruit new members to the party. By blending entertainment with informative content, the studio aims to attract a diverse range of individuals who may not traditionally engage with political discussions.

As part of the party’s strategic efforts to expand its base, the podcasting initiative will also allow APGA Osun to explore different formats, including storytelling, panel discussions, and opinion pieces. This diverse content will cover a wide array of topics, from policy discussions to community development, economic empowerment, and youth participation in politics. The podcasts will provide an in-depth analysis of local and national issues while offering listeners a platform to voice their concerns and opinions.

Chairman of APGA Osun, Mr. Wole Adedoyin, expressed his support for the initiative, stating that it aligns perfectly with the party's goals of ensuring greater inclusivity and transparency. "APGA Osun has always been committed to strengthening democracy and promoting the welfare of the people. With the launch of this YouTube studio, we are taking our communication to the next level, ensuring that every Osun indigene and citizen can access information about the party’s activities and policies in real-time," he said in a statement.

The opening of the studio is also seen as a step toward enhancing the party’s visibility in the state. As the media landscape continues to evolve, the need for political parties to engage the public through innovative means has become more critical than ever. Through this multimedia initiative, APGA Osun hopes to set an example for other political organizations by embracing new technologies that foster openness and direct engagement with the electorate.

To ensure the success of this venture, the party has committed to investing in the necessary technical resources, equipment, and training for its members to manage and produce high-quality content. The YouTube studio is equipped with state-of-the-art production facilities, and the team behind the podcast will be trained in best practices for content creation and digital marketing to maximize the reach and impact of the initiatives.

The initiative is expected to foster a sense of community among party members and supporters by creating an online space where they can interact, share ideas, and participate in discussions about the future of Osun State. Additionally, the party hopes that by making its content more engaging and accessible, it will be able to attract more young people to the political process and encourage them to become active participants in shaping the state's future.

The launch of the YouTube studio and podcasting initiative is a clear indication of APGA Osun's determination to remain at the forefront of political innovation and communication. As the party continues to evolve and adapt to the changing political climate, it is poised to engage with the people of Osun in new, exciting, and impactful ways.
