 Why APGA will sweep LG  polls in Anambra BY IZUCHUKWU Adichie In Anambra, it is an undeniable truth that there is only one political party, and Ndi Anambra will continue to wholeheartedly support the party in driving the state's development forward.

 MY ADMINISTRATION IS RESOLUTELY DELIBERATE ABOUT TRANSFORMING ONITSHA- SOLUDO By Christian ABURIME Anambra State Governor Professor Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, has expressed the deliberateness of his administration to transform Onitsha metropolis.

 Soludo's Inspiring Example By Izuchukwu Adichie Allow me to take a quick trip down memory lane. In January 2021, I had the opportunity to meet my principal and leader, Governor Soludo, at the Women Development Center in Awka. He was there to engage with a select group of individuals as part of his consultation for the governorship seat. As he entered, greeted everyone, and took his seat, I couldn't help but notice not only his impressive appearance but also the strong sense of purpose that surrounded him. This initial impression of a man on a mission has proven to be accurate in the following years. Since then, Soludo's government has powerfully shown that holding the position of governor should not be viewed as a personal accomplishment, but rather as an opportunity to positively impact the lives of the people who have entrusted you with their well-being. It is about using your authority to improve the overall welfare of the state through compassionate and selfless leader

 Chekwas Okorie and his Bestial Insanity BY IZUCHUKWU Adichie A friend recently asked me if Chekwas Okorie might be suffering from a psychotic disorder after he shared a press statement by Chekwas. In the statement, Chekwas made unfounded accusations and called for disciplinary action against the legitimate leadership of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) under Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa. Chekwas and his co-conspirators had attempted to seize leadership using a non-existing COURT ORDER. In response to my friend's question, I expressed my concern that Chekwas might be suffering from severe mental instability, as his statement seemed senseless and treacherous. Chekwas was expelled from APGA, and this decision was upheld in 2009 by the Supreme Court. He resorted to blackmail and gradually became treacherous, exhibiting delusions of self-importance and descending into a violent psychotic disorder. His behavior reached a disturbing point when he danced in the market square. In my opini

Unlike many other politicians, Soludo has shown true commitment to his promises, and we have full confidence in his capabilities. It has been two decades since Ndi Anambra had local government elections. The participating political parties have begun preparing for the election scheduled to be held on September 28, 2024, by the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission.
