The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Barrister Sylvester Ezeokenwa, has congratulated the National Leader of the party and the Executive Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, following his exceptional recognition at the prestigious 2025 Global Power Forum in New York, USA.

The Chairman, in a statement issued from the party's national secretariat, lauded Governor Soludo for his recent honor with the African Public Service Excellence Award, the African Governor of the Year Award, and a Special Recognition and Commendation from the South Carolina House of Representatives.

He described these distinguished awards as a resounding validation of the Governor's visionary leadership and his administration's transformative impact on Anambra State.

According to Barrister Ezeokenwa, these international accolades are not merely personal triumphs for Professor Soludo but are significant milestones that shine a brilliant light on both Anambra State and the All Progressives Grand Alliance.

He emphasized that such global recognition firmly places Anambra on the map as a center of excellence and progressive governance, reflecting the core ideals and capabilities of the party that governs it.

The statement further highlighted that the New York honors are a capstone to an already extraordinary year of recognition for the Governor. It was noted that Governor Soludo has, within the year, garnered more than twenty domestic awards spanning various sectors of governance, from education and infrastructure to security and economic development.

The National Chairman affirmed that this consistent stream of endorsements, both at home and abroad, serves as an undeniable affirmation of Governor Soludo's unwavering dedication to effective, transparent, and people-centered leadership. He stated that this philosophy of putting the people first is the very essence of APGA’s core mandate and its reason for being in governance.

He praised the Governor for his relentless pursuit of a liveable and prosperous homeland for Ndi Anambra, noting that the policies and projects being implemented are a clear demonstration of the APGA governance model in action—a model that is now receiving global applause. This, he said, is a source of immense pride for every member of the party.

As the political landscape evolves, Barrister Ezeokenwa called for unity and steadfastness among the citizens of Anambra. He urged Ndi Anambra to recognize the immense value of the leadership provided by Governor Soludo and to continue to support his administration and the party that has made such progress possible.

Looking ahead, the Chairman stressed the importance of maintaining the current trajectory of progress and rising prominence. He expressed his firm belief that with continued support, Anambra State is poised for even greater heights under the APGA-led government.

In his concluding remarks, Barrister Ezeokenwa offered a prayer and a powerful declaration for the state: "May Anambra continue to succeed." He reiterated the party's unwavering commitment to standing with Governor Soludo as he continues to pilot the affairs of the state towards a future of sustainable development and unparalleled success.

Signed.

His participation in both a significant religious ceremony and a major cultural festival highlighted a commitment to the spiritual and traditional values of the people.

The day began at the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew, Amichi, where Chief Ezeokenwa joined the congregation to witness the solemn Collation and Installation of five new Canons and six Archdeacons. This important event was held under the spiritual leadership of His Lordship, Rt. Rev’d Ephraim O. Ikeakor, the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Amichi.

The Collation and Installation service is a momentous occasion within the Anglican community, serving to honor dedicated service, spiritual maturity, and profound pastoral commitment. Chief Ezeokenwa’s presence at the sacred event was a gesture of support for the church and its leaders, acknowledging their vital role in community building and moral guidance.

Later on Sunday, the APGA National Chairman joined the people of Umunnachi in celebrating the vibrant Umunnachi New Yam Festival 2025. The celebration was hosted at the residence of Prof. Offornze Amucheazi, SAN, the Honourable Commissioner for Lands in Anambra State. The New Yam Festival is a joyous time across Igbo land, symbolizing gratitude for a bountiful harvest and the preservation of rich cultural heritage.

Chief Ezeokenwa’s participation in the festival was a practical demonstration of the APGA mantra of being “our brother’s and sister’s keeper.” His involvement reflected a spirit of communal gratitude, joining with brethren to thank God for the immense blessings and favor witnessed throughout the year.

By moving from the sacred atmosphere of the cathedral to the celebratory grounds of the cultural festival, Chief Ezeokenwa’s engagements illustrated a holistic approach to leadership.

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.
