Former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, and the Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Dr Somtochukwu Udeze, have felicitated with Governor Chukwuma Soludo on his 65th birthday, commending him for contributing immensely to the development of the state.

In a goodwill message, Obi described Soludo as an “elder brother and a leader whose contributions to the development of Anambra State and the nation at large are well recognised.”

The message reads: “Your Excellency, my dear elder brother, my family and I join other men and women of goodwill in rejoicing with you as you mark another year today.

“May God continue to bless you with strength, wisdom, and good health, as you serve our dear state and the nation.”

He wished the governor continued success and divine guidance in the discharge of his duties, praying for enduring peace and progress in Anambra under his leadership.

In his message, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Udeze, said Soludo has proven to the Anambra people and Nigerians that his primary purpose of coming into politics was to fast-track development in the state and provide a better life for the citizenry through impactful administration.

Udeze noted that Soludo has distinguished himself among his colleagues in the country in all aspects of governance, expressing immense satisfaction that the governor has done the state proud, “through the unprecedented milestones he has recorded in all sectors of the state economy.”

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has described the governor as its biggest export.
In a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Dr Ejimofor Opara, to celebrate the governor on his birthday, the party said Soludo had been a driving force behind the party’s progressive agenda.
