On Sunday, Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, organized an interdenominational service to commemorate the end of his first term in office. The event, themed "Leading with Wisdom and Integrity," took place at the International Convention Centre in Awka, attended by various religious leaders and community members. It served as a spiritual reflection as well as a precursor to his second-term inauguration planned for March 17, 2026.

During the service, Governor Soludo expressed heartfelt gratitude to the citizens of Anambra for their perseverance and support during his tenure. He acknowledged the guidance provided by God throughout the challenges faced in his time as governor. The governor also took the opportunity to reiterate his vision for Anambra, positioning it as a destination hub and a state devoid of lawlessness, as well as emphasizing the need for unity among citizens irrespective of their religious or ethnic backgrounds.

The central message of the service, titled "Ecumenism," reinforced Soludo's pledge to foster development based on the contributions of individuals, rather than their faith or ethnicity. This commitment aims to create a more inclusive atmosphere and drive progress in Anambra, setting an optimistic tone as he prepares for his upcoming second term in office. Soludo's approach highlights a dedication to governance that prioritizes harmony and collaboration among the diverse population in the state.
