The air is filled with joy and goodwill as one of Anambra State’s most respected voices, High Chief Monday Nwokoye, extends his warmest and most heartfelt birthday wishes to a man whose life has become synonymous with service, dedication, and discipline — Comrade Celestine Anere, the Managing Director of Ocha Brigade and Convener of the Solution Marshal Initiative.
In a special statement released earlier today, High Chief Nwokoye praised Comrade Anere not just as a public servant, but as a visionary leader, a patriot, and a man whose relentless pursuit of a safer, cleaner, and more orderly Anambra State has earned him the admiration of both the government and the governed.

“Today, I celebrate a man of rare courage, unwavering loyalty, and enviable commitment to the good governance agenda of His Excellency, Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR,” High Chief Nwokoye stated. “Comrade Celestine Anere is not just a public official; he is a movement, a force, a disciplined commander who leads from the front, defends the truth, and stands for the people.”
The birthday message, glowing with admiration and decorated with powerful words, was accompanied by warm prayers for long life, strength, and continuous wisdom for the celebrant.

“May the Almighty God continue to protect, strengthen, and grant you more wisdom as you lead the Ocha Brigade and Solution Marshal teams with uncommon patriotism and discipline.
Your leadership has restored sanity in places that were once lawless, given hope to the youth, and shown us all what effective grassroots enforcement and public engagement can look like.”
As Managing Director of the Ocha Brigade, Comrade Anere has become the face of civic order and environmental discipline across Anambra. Under his stewardship, major urban centers have witnessed dramatic transformation — from the clearing of illegal structures and removal of touts, to sanitizing markets, parks, and major roads. His efforts have complemented the Soludo administration’s goal of turning Anambra into a livable and prosperous homeland.
As Convener of the Solution Marshal Initiative — a grassroots enforcement and civic consciousness movement — Comrade Anere has been instrumental in recruiting, training, and inspiring young Anambrarians to take active roles in building a more disciplined society.

High Chief Monday Nwokoye’s birthday tribute highlighted the significance of leadership that is humble in heart but fierce in action:
“Comrade Anere is a true example of the Solution Agenda in motion. He doesn’t chase the camera or headlines — he delivers results. I am proud to celebrate you today, my brother and partner in progress. May your days be long, your health ever-strong, and your dreams continue to flourish for the good of Anambra and beyond.”
As the birthday wishes pour in from across political, civic, and traditional institutions, one thing remains clear — Comrade Celestine Anere is a man whose birthday is not just a date on the calendar, but a moment to recognize a life well-lived in the service of order, dignity, and people-first governance.
High Chief Monday Nwokoye, the Ocha Brigade family, the Solution Marshal team, and indeed all lovers of good governance, in saying:
Happy Birthday, Comrade Celestine Anere!
May your light never dim, and may your impact continue to echo through the sands of time.
