On the occasion of the governor's 63rd birthday, Prof Ibe urged him to utilise his current position as the National leader of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) to rebuild, strengthen, and expand the party's reach beyond its current boundaries.
Expressing his wishes and counsel, Prof Ibe emphasized the significance of Governor Soludo's influential role within APGA.
He urged the governor to work closely with the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party to revitalize and broaden the party's presence in every region and state of the country.
By taking proactive measures to strengthen and extend the frontiers of APGA nationwide, Prof Ibe believes that the party can achieve a true and formidable nationwide presence, becoming a party of national stature.
It is noteworthy that Prof Ibe himself contested as the APGA governorship candidate in Abia State during the 2023 general elections, indicating his deep-rooted affiliation with the party and his keen interest in its growth and progress.
Speaking highly of Governor Soludo, Prof Ibe described him as a special gift to humanity. As such, he offered prayers for the governor's good health, hoping that he may continue to lead with strength and vision.
The advice from Prof Ibe comes at a crucial time for APGA, with Governor Soludo's leadership position providing an opportunity to reshape the party's direction and impact.
As a respected member of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Advisory Council and a prominent figure within APGA, Prof Ibe's counsel carries significant weight and may influence the party's strategies and actions in the coming months.
Governor Soludo's position as the national leader of APGA offers a platform to steer the party's course towards broader representation and influence. As the party continues to solidify its footing in Anambra State, expanding its reach to other parts of the nation could enhance its political standing and create a stronger impact in national politics.
APGA, known for its regional strength in Anambra State, has the potential to become a truly national party if strategic efforts are made to establish a foothold in other regions. By drawing on the expertise of the National Working Committee and working in tandem with party leaders from various states, the party can forge a path towards wider acceptance and recognition.
As Governor Soludo contemplates the advice and aspirations put forth by Prof Ibe, the future trajectory of APGA lies in his hands. The decisions and actions taken by the governor and the party leadership in the coming months could significantly influence the political landscape, not only in Anambra State but also across the nation.
With the prayers and well-wishes of party members, supporters, and influential figures like Prof Ibe, Governor Soludo's journey as the National leader of APGA takes on added significance. The governor's leadership acumen and dedication to the party's growth will be pivotal in shaping APGA's role in Nigeria's political arena.
