A Chieftain of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in Umuawulu community, Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State, High Chief Azubuike Austin Ekweozor (Ide Umuawulu), has commenced a mobilization campaign for Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo’s second term bid.
Chief Ekweozor, who spoke to journalists, on Wednesday, after meeting with Umuawulu ward party executives and stakeholders, expressed his support for the governor, citing his impressive performance in just two years and eight months in office.
According to Ekweozor, the governor’s achievements have surpassed those of his predecessors, adding that “there is no vacancy” in Anambra State Government House in 2025.
“Soludo has taken public service to a higher level and has raised the bar as far as governance is concerned. His style of governance is the opposite of ‘brigandage’, which other desperate politicians have exemplified in the past. His resounding performances in job creation, youth empowerment, roads and rural infrastructure, industrialisation, health, and education within the above-mentioned period has given him the second term victory.”

Ide Umuawulu’s grassroots-oriented foundation, Ide Global Movement, which has a presence in all communities constituting Awka North/South Federal Constituency, is also backing Soludo’s second term bid. The foundation aims to empower the less privileged and support good governance.
The Umuawulu APGA ward executives and stakeholders installed Chief Ekweozor as the leader of the party in the community.
The Chieftan expressed gratitude to the Umuawulu APGA family and promised to use his influence to build the party and bring back aggrieved members.
The Umuawulu APGA ward Chairman, Hon. Sunday Okpala, who spoke on behalf of the party executives, described Chief Ekweozor as the party’s pillar with the financial muscle to move the party forward. He stated that the re-election of Governor Soludo in 2025 will strengthen the unity of Ndigbo, giving them a stronger voice at the centre.
The event was attended by several dignitaries, including the President General of Umuawulu Community, Chief Barrister Chris Ekweozor, and the Awka South LGA APGA Chairman, Barrister Chukwuma Lawrence.
A minute’s silence was also observed in honor of the late APGA Umuawulu leader, Rt. Hon. Harford Oseke.
