 The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Barrister Sly Ezeokenwa, popularly known as Ezenwata Umuchu, today graced the interdenominational church service held at the International Convention Centre (ICC), Awka. 

The event was part of the festivities marking the second-term inauguration of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, who also serves as the party’s national leader.  

The service attracted a diverse congregation comprising Christian faithful from various denominations, prominent clerics, traditional rulers, political leaders, and notable citizens of Anambra. It was themed “Leading with Wisdom and Integrity” and served as an occasion for thanksgiving, reflection, and renewed prayers for the state’s continued development.

Addressing the gathering, Chief Ezeokenwa highlighted the significance of the diverse attendance, noting that it embodies the collective hopes and prayers of Ndi Anambra for a prosperous future.

 He congratulated Governor Soludo on securing a renewed mandate and expressed confidence that his second term would build on the achievements of his first tenure, steering the state toward greater progress and development.

The Archbishop of the Niger, The Most Reverend Alexander Ibezim, delivered the sermon, emphasizing the importance of divine wisdom and integrity in leadership. Similarly, Bishop Wale Oke, President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), commended the Governor’s decision to dedicate his tenure to God through thanksgiving prayers.

Governor Soludo, in his remarks, attributed his administration’s successes to divine guidance and the strong support of Ndi Anambra, who returned him to office with about 73 percent of the votes. He reaffirmed his commitment to transforming Anambra into a model of merit, hard work, and character-driven leadership.

Chief Ezeokenwa also reaffirmed APGA’s unwavering support for the Soludo administration, urging Ndi Anambra to continue rallying behind their Governor as he pursues his vision of making the state a prosperous, livable, and globally competitive homeland.

The official inauguration of Governor Soludo’s second term is scheduled for March 17, 2026, but today’s church service marked a significant spiritual and communal milestone in the ongoing journey of leadership and development in Anambra State.
