In what has been described as a political masterstroke ahead of the 2025 Anambra gubernatorial election, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and leading grassroots powerhouse Solution Marshal have sealed a strategic alliance aimed at delivering a resounding re-election victory for Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo.
Unveiled at a high-powered gathering tagged “Solution Marshal/APGA Tactical Meeting 2025” with the theme “Synergizing for Victory: ASSMAL and APGA Strategic Alliance”, the event signaled the commencement of a statewide mobilization war. The meeting brought together over 2,000 political foot soldiers, including dignitaries, all 21 Local Government Chairmen and 326 Ward Chairmen, united by a single mission — total victory on November 8, 2025.
“We Must Be Grassroots-Guided”—Barr. Titus Akpudo Fires the First Salvo
The meeting was declared open by the State Marshal General, Barr. Titus Akpudo Ichaka, who charged the coalition with a call to vigilance, discipline, and action:
“We are not here for ceremony. We are here to map out a strategy for November 8. The battle for the ballot begins now. We must protect our votes. Every one of them,” he declared.
“No Excuses—Only Victory!” – Comrade Celestine Anere Lays Down the Gauntlet
Comrade Celestine Anere, the fiery Field Marshal of Solution Marshal and Managing Director of Ocha Brigade, electrified the hall with a bold proclamation:
“This is not about repeating 21-over-21. This time, we are targeting a total sweep—every polling unit. Governor Soludo has performed. He deserves more. We will take this message to every town, every street, every doorstep. No war, no violence—just victory.”
The commitment to deep grassroots mobilization by Solution Marshal sent a clear message: APGA is going into this election not just to win, but to dominate.
“This Is Not a Party—This Is a War Room!” – Barr. Ifeatu Obi-Okoye Declares
APGA State Chairman, High Chief Barr. Ifeatu Obi-Okoye (Igirigi Ogidi), delivered a blistering keynote address that redefined the event’s tone:
“I am not a textbook politician—I win elections. This meeting is a tactical gathering, not entertainment. Solution Marshal is our election engine, and every local government chairman must synchronize with it.”
He warned against distractions:
“Any division at ward or polling unit level is a gift to the opposition. Total unity is our watchword. Victory is non-negotiable.”
“Soludo Has Delivered—Now It’s Our Turn” – Hon. Ikenna Ofodeme Calls for Action
Hon. Ikenna Ofodeme, Majority Leader of the Anambra State House of Assembly and Marshal Superior, passionately urged party faithful to match loyalty with civic responsibility:
“Governor Soludo has changed the face of Anambra. We now owe him. Go home, register people, get your voter cards, mobilize like never before. If you don’t have a PVC, you’re not in this fight.”
He emphasized that APGA and Solution Marshal have become one, stating:
“There is no longer a line between us. Our blood is the same. We move as one to deliver this victory.”
“Unity at the Grassroots Is Non-Negotiable”—Hon. Ikpeazu, Prof. Maduekwe Reinforce Cohesion
Adding her voice, Hon. Beverley Nkemdilim Ikpeazu, Mother General of Solution Marshal and Commissioner for Special Duties, underlined the importance of inclusivity and harmony:
“I carry many children under me. And I will protect them all. Most challenges we face start at the ward level. We must close those gaps and move together. Unity is the foundation of our success.”
Prof. Okwy Maduekwe, Chairman of the APGA Tactical Committee, echoed this confidence:
“This alliance is not cosmetic—it’s strategic. And it will deliver. APGA and Solution Marshal together form an unstoppable machine.”
Momentum Builds: APGA-Solution Marshal Alliance Ready for the Final Push
With the campaign machinery now fully activated, both APGA and Solution Marshal have pledged to leave no community untouched, no polling unit uncovered, and no vote unprotected. Their objective: a sweeping mandate that sends an unmistakable message of confidence in Soludo’s leadership.
Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, widely applauded for his transformative agenda in infrastructure, security, economy, and public service reforms, remains the frontrunner in the November election. Backed by this formidable coalition of party loyalists and grassroots strategists, his path to a second term has never looked more solid.
