Today, together with my dear wife Nonye, my Deputy, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Somtochukwu Udeze, members of the State Executive Council, the House of Assembly, and Ndi Anambra from all walks of life, we gathered at the Cathedral Church of St. Faith, Awka for an interdenominational thanksgiving service to mark Nigeria at 66. As we reflect on 66 years of our nationhood, it reminds us that nation-building is a collective responsibility. It requires our resilience, our sacrifice

Yesterday, I joined my wife, Mrs. Nonye Soludo, to host Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu CON, as she launched the National Community Food Bank Programme for the South-East. This initiative under the Renewed Hope Initiative targets our most vulnerable — widows, the elderly, persons with disabilities, nursing mothers and young children — with food support and nutrition education. It aligns perfectly with our state’s drive to fight poverty, promote sustainable agriculture, and strength

Yesterday, I joined my brother, the Governor of Ebonyi State — His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru — alongside other progressives in Abakaliki to stand with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. The time has come for us to unite. Enough of the politics of lamentations. Ndi Igbo, we must move from the alliance of protest to the alliance for progress — an alliance for prosperity. We must unite. We must not waste our votes again. Progressives are working together for a renewed and prospe

Yesterday, I spent productive hours in Nnewi with my team, walking the city and planning its future. We started at the Nnewi roundabout — the mall project abandoned for almost 17 years. We toured the entire space. That ends now. We will convert it into something viable and of real public value within the life of this administration. We moved to the Post Office, Eme Court Road, and the expanse of land between Umudim and Ukpor. I stood at the roundabout and saw it clearly: Nnewi has grown. We must

Today, we commenced the Anambra State Executive Council Retreat and formally kicked off Solution 2.0: Acceleration With Precision. With the foundations now firmly in place, our priority is disciplined, focused, and results-driven governance. I charged members of the Solution Team 2.0 to begin drafting their valedictory addresses for March 2030 and to work backward from that vision with discipline, urgency, and purpose. Our mission is clear: to build a livable and prosperous smart megacity, lay t

Today, as we mark the 2026 National Children’s Day, we celebrate our children, the pride of today and the promise of tomorrow. Every child deserves love, quality education, proper care, protection, and the opportunity to fulfil their potential. As a nation, we must remain steadfast in our commitment to building a society where every child, regardless of background, gender, or circumstance of birth, is given the opportunity to thrive. We must continue to strengthen the institutions, policies, and

This is the Solution 2.0 team. Our job is simple: lay the foundation for a new Anambra that is liveable, prosperous, and secure for every family, trader, and young person. The work ahead is not easy, but it is urgent. We owe it to you to deliver on infrastructure, education, health, security, and a thriving economy where businesses can grow without fear. To Ndi Anambra, thank you for the trust. We will not take it for granted. The work continues. The vision is clear. The future is bright. Anamb

Security is a collective duty, and today, Anambra’s efforts have received a significant boost. At the Light House, Awka, I received ten brand-new operational vehicles from the Chairman and CEO of Zenco Group of Companies, Mr. Cletus Uzoezie Oragwa, in support of strengthening our security architecture. This generous gesture goes beyond a donation; it is a clear expression of trust, partnership, and commitment to a safer, more secure Anambra. When individuals and organizations rise in support of

I received the Polish Ambassador to Nigeria, Michał Cygan, on a courtesy visit at the Light House, Awka. Ambassador Cygan is in Anambra as the keynote speaker at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University’s 16th Convocation Ceremony, and his visit reflects the growing importance of international dialogue, academic exchange, and strategic cooperation. Our engagement provided an opportunity to showcase Anambra’s vast potential as Nigeria’s premier investment destination. We emphasized the state’s read

One week ago, history was made in Anambra State, setting in motion a new phase in its journey toward growth, renewal, and lasting transformation. The journey ahead will require consistency, collaboration, and collective sacrifice. Meaningful development is not achieved overnight, and transforming a state into a smart megacity demands vision, discipline, and sustained execution. The future is not distant; it is already being shaped. May Anambra continue to win!
