In a bold and heartfelt declaration that has energized political conversations across Anambra West, prominent APGA chieftain and revered community leader, Chief Dr. Bobmanuel Okonmah — popularly known as Akalaka Anam — has officially endorsed Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo for re-election in the forthcoming November 2025 governorship poll.
Describing Soludo’s leadership as a divine intervention and the long-awaited answer to the yearnings of Anambra West and the state at large, Dr. Okonmah stated that the governor has brought visible transformation, strategic governance, and people-centered development to the grassroots.
Speaking during a vibrant gathering of supporters under the banner of Team Akalaka Foundation, Dr. Okonmah, who once contested for the Anambra State House of Assembly seat to represent Anambra West under the APGA platform, reaffirmed his unwavering belief in the continuity of what he termed “the Solution Mandate.” The well-attended endorsement event was adorned with banners bearing messages like #SolutionIsHere and #SolutionContinues, reflecting widespread support from constituents.
“Governor Soludo is not just a professor of economics; he is a visionary whose policies and actions resonate with the common man,” he said. “From rural road construction in hard-to-reach areas like Anambra West to his deliberate engagement with communities, youth empowerment, and agricultural revitalization, we are seeing tangible progress.”
According to Dr. Okonmah, the endorsement was not merely a gesture but a powerful mobilization effort to galvanize support for Soludo’s re-election, especially from riverine and marginalized communities. He pointed to the governor’s strides in education, infrastructure, local government reforms, and peacebuilding as reasons Anam people and the wider Omambala region should rally behind him.
“Leadership is not about position alone, but about impact. Soludo has proven that with the right vision and political will, meaningful development is possible. We must allow him to finish what he has started,” he added.
The endorsement event attracted key stakeholders from various walks of life — youth groups, women leaders, traditional rulers, religious voices, and committed APGA loyalists — all of whom echoed a shared sentiment: Soludo’s re-election is not only desirable but essential.
Chief Dr. Okonmah’s endorsement is significant, coming from a long-time political actor and grassroots mobilizer whose influence spans the nooks and crannies of Anambra West. His active involvement in community development and unwavering loyalty to APGA make him a central voice in shaping political direction in the area.
With his call to action now reverberating beyond party lines, the Akalaka Foundation is poised to play a pivotal role in grassroots mobilization as Anambra marches toward the 2025 gubernatorial election.
On Easter Monday, Dr. Okonmah joined the representatives of the area in the commissioning of ultra-modern school blocks facilitated by Hon. Macpee Aniekwe representing Anambra East/West Federal Constituency at the National Assembly. He also made a generous cash donation to Umudora Anam people during their Easter annual general meeting.
