Members of the Amalekwune Ameka community, Ezza South LGA of Ebonyi State residing in Anambra, have applauded Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo for his inclusive leadership and strategic appointments of non-indigenes into critical roles in his administration.
The commendation came during the community’s New Yam Festival held at Agulu Town Hall, Fegge, Onitsha, where they celebrated the appointment of their son, Comrade Nweke Nweke, as spokesperson for Anambra’s Homeland Security outfit, Agunechemba.
The community also expressed gratitude for the appointment of High Chief Monday Nwokoye, another Ebonyi indigene, as head of the Special Anti-Touting Squad (SASA).
Speaking at the event, Comrade Naza Moses, Chairman of the community's Onitsha branch, praised Soludo’s merit-based approach to governance, noting that his administration values competence over ethnicity or political loyalty.
“Governor Soludo has shown leadership that transcends borders. We are mobilizing our people across the state with the aim of delivering one million votes as a show of gratitude and support in the upcoming November 8 election,” Naza said.
He emphasized that the appointments have deepened goodwill among Ebonyi residents in Anambra and strengthened their resolve to support Soludo’s re-election.
Also speaking, Mr. Uchenna Egboma, the community secretary, and Chief Bartholomew Oyibe, a respected voice in the group, thanked Chief Kenneth Emeakayi, the Governor’s Special Adviser on Homeland Security, for championing inclusivity and believing in their people.
In his remarks, Comrade Nweke Nweke, a veteran journalist and the newly appointed Agunechemba spokesperson, expressed his gratitude.
“This is a call to serve with humility and discipline. I sincerely thank Chief Emeakayi for his mentorship and the governor for this rare privilege,” he said.
As November 8 approaches, the Amalekwune Ameka community has vowed to mobilize grassroots support and reward what they describe as “Soludo’s fairness and open-handedness.”
