Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has sent a warm message of congratulations to Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo on his recent inauguration as the democratically elected Governor of Anambra State.
Governor Ikpeazu recalls the popular acclaim that defined the election of Professor Soludo and urges him to bring to bear his wide experience in economic management to bear in his governance of Anambra State.
The Governor is particularly delighted that Governor Soludo has chosen to use the Abia made Akwete Cloth as his official apparel, thereby joining his passionate campaign since 2015 to bring to the fore, the great value in our locally made products, describing the Akwete Cloth as one of Igbo land’s most enduring gift to the world of textile manufacturing.
Governor Ikpeazu looks forward to working with Governor Soludo and other Governors especially through the Forum of South East Governors to formulate policies that will further secure and expand the frontiers of our regional economy describing Abia and Anambra States as the two largest local manufacturing and trading economies in the South East with centuries of established trade collaboration.
Governor Ikpeazu prays the Almighty God to grant Governor Soludo the best of health and strength to face the daunting challenges of leadership and, on behalf of the Government and People of Abia State, wishes Professor Soludo a successful tenure as Governor of Anambra State.
