Yesterday, I was in Ekwusigo Local Government to commission a newly completed 3-kilometer road. Built by the Ekwusigo LG administration under Mayor Chimezie Obi, the road was constructed with sub-cement stabilization, stone-base laying, and top-grade asphalt finishing. It is a landmark achievement. I doubt if any Local Government in the State has constructed a road of this superior standard in the last 20 years. Kudos to you, Mayor Chimezie. This is definitive proof that the Local Government system in Anambra is back, working effectively, and adding value directly to the grassroots. We deliberately restructured and strengthened the Local Government framework through our local administration laws to ensure fiscal strength and long-term sustainability. The result is what we are seeing today. The era when Local Government Councils were struggling to pay primary health workers, pensioners, and gratuities is over. Today, they are building quality roads and delivering impactful projects. The Ekwusigo road is a proof of concept for what empowered local administrations can achieve. In the coming weeks, I will be touring various LGAs to commission more projects executed by our Mayors. Across Anambra, we remain one large construction site, with over 137 roads and projects awaiting commissioning. The people's money is working for the benefit of the people. This is the APGA and Solution agenda at work. I also commissioned the legislative building inside the Ekwusigo LG Secretariat and gave cash awards to students and schools involved in the skills acquisition programme of the Mayor. May Anambra continue to win!

Today, I have ordered the shut down of the Onitsha Main Market for one week due to the protracted economic sabotage cloaked as "Monday sit-at-home". Going forward, this order would apply to any other market in Anambra that shuts down on Monday. This action is not taken lightly, as I am determined to protect the economic interests of our state and its people. No individual or group has the right to halt the lives and livelihood of the people. I urge all traders and market stakeholders to disregard this call to economic sabotage and resume business as usual. Let us work together to build a prosperous Anambra. To those who continue to aid and abet this economic sabotage, I warn that we will not tolerate it any further. Our government will take all necessary measures to ensure the security and safety of lives and property in the state. I call on all residents of Anambra to go about their normal business activities without fear. We will continue to do everything possible to protect our economy and ensure that our state remains a hub for business and investment. Let us stand together against economic sabotage and build a brighter future for our state. May Anambra continue to win!

I was honoured to unveil a grand statue of our own Professor Chinua Achebe at Ugwu-Nwasike Roundabout, Ogidi, in Idemili North LGA. Surrounded by dignitaries, literary scholars, and Ndi Anambra, this moment was more than the unveiling of a monument. It was a declaration. Achebe did not just write books. He gave the black race a voice, redefined African literature, and told our story to the world with courage, clarity and intellectual integrity. “Things Fall Apart” did more than sell millions of copies — it restored the dignity of a people. This statue is the latest in our commitment to ensure that his legacy never fades. In 2023 we renamed our International Airport after him — the ‘Chinua Achebe International Passenger and Cargo Airport’. Today, we have given him a permanent place in the heart of his hometown, Ogidi. To our youths: let Achebe’s life inspire you. A life of scholarship, principled leadership, truth, and service to your people and humanity. I thank Prof. Ike Achebe and the entire Achebe family for joining us and for the grace to celebrate this icon together. Though he left us in 2013, his spirit still guides our intellectual and cultural journey as a people. Ndi Anambra, we do not forget our own. Chinua Achebe lives on!

The task before us is clear, and the deadline is looming. We cannot afford to waste a single moment, because Ndi Anambra are waiting and they cannot wait any longer! Neither can we! We are shifting into high gear, entering an intense execution mode that will leave no stone unturned. This is a 24/7 operation, with every waking moment dedicated to delivering on our promises. We are driven by an unwavering commitment to the people of Anambra State, and we will stop at nothing to ensure their lives are transformed for the better. May Anambra continue to win!

I am impressed by the clinical compliance to our directives by Traders of the Onitsha Main Market. In the last five years Onitsha main market has remained shut on Mondays. Yesterday, by the sheer will of our people, the jinx was broken! The market bustled like never before and the joy exuded by the traders was palpable. Indeed, history has been made today and the self-defeating Monday sit-at-home has been trashed into the dustbin of our regrettable history. Chukwu na eme ife na’adighi ekwe omume. May Anambra continue to win!

Yesterday, the Solution Fun City marked its first anniversary. We promised ndi Anambra a world-class space for fun, and relaxation. Today, that promise is alive — filled with laughter, smiles, and the sound of Anambra’s future at play. This is what the Solution Agenda is about: building a liveable and prosperous Anambra where our people can work hard, and also rest well. Thank you to every family, staff, and partner who has made Fun City a success in just 12 months. Here’s to more years of fun, more years of growth. May Anambra continue to win!

Yesterday, I received Evangelist Ebuka Obi of the Zion Ministry at the Light House, Awka. I was on ground earlier to commission the free Psychiatric Hospital and old people’s home built in Aguleri by the Seraphic foundation — the charity arm of the Zion Ministry. Evangelist Ebuka Obi has demonstrated the true essence of Christianity by this very act. I am happy to forge a partnership with him for the good of the less privileged and vulnerable in our society. While on earth, we must do the work of God. May Anambra continue to win!

Yesterday, I met with Michael Ervin, Political and Economic Chief at the U.S. Consulate General, to discuss deepening collaboration through the Commercial Investment Partnership. We focused on infrastructure, agriculture, and the digital economy, exploring ways to translate commitments into tangible benefits for Anambra. We also took him on a tour of the newly commissioned Government House complex and Solution Fun City, a recreational hub featuring an amusement park, water park, and country club. I am proud to highlight our commitment to technological advancement through the Solution Innovation District, driving growth in the digital economy. This visit strengthens our partnership with the U.S. Mission and positions Anambra at the forefront of subnational collaboration. May Anambra continue to win!

Yesterday, as I marked my 65th birthday, I chose to celebrate in a way that brings me joy and fulfillment - by serving humanity. I visited the Nawfia Neuro-psychiatric hospital, Onitsha correctional center, St. Charles Borromeo Specialist hospital, and Iyienu teaching hospital, Ogidi. I spent the day with patients and inmates, sharing words of hope and encouraging them to never give up. My message was simple: "On earth, we must continue to do the work of God. This is the sure way to affecting humanity and impacting lives positively." As I left Iyienu teaching hospital around 7pm, I couldn't help but smile. These people are a few of my favorite beings, and I'm committed to leaving the world better than I met it. I'm grateful for the gift of life and the opportunity to serve. I've come to realize that true wealth isn't in material possessions, but in the lives we touch and the positive impact we make. To everyone who's been part of my journey, I say thank you. Let's continue to do the work of God and make a difference in the lives of those around us.

Today, I celebrate a distinguished young man and my Aide-de-Camp, DSP Tony Amadi, for 35 remarkable years of service in the Nigeria Police Force. For 22 of those years, Tony has stood by my side with uncommon loyalty, discipline, and dedication. Since 2004, he has been more than an official appointee. He has become family — dependable, steadfast, and unwavering through every season. We marked this milestone at a celebratory Mass at the Light House, Awka, where I was joined by my wife, Dr. Nonye Soludo. Tony, my family and I are proud of you. Thank you for your service to Nigeria, to Anambra, and to me. May your retirement years be filled with peace, joy, and the same honor you brought to the uniform. Congratulations, Tony.

Today, I took the Speaker and Honourable members of the Anambra State House of Assembly on a tour of some key projects in the heart of the State capital. I particularly enjoyed seeing the awe on their faces as we moved from the Solution fun city to the new Government House and Governor’s lodge. This could not have been possible without their altruistic cooperation towards “Project Anambra”. Together, we shall continue to work for the good of our people. May Anambra continue to win!
