…as Obi-Okoye calls on Solution Marshal to be physically present at every polling unit on election day to safeguard APGA’s votes.
The iNews Times reports that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Solution Marshal, a key political support group have disclosed plans to collaborate strategically to ensure the re-election of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo in the November 8 Anambra gubernatorial election.
Solution Marshal is a prominent pressure group within APGA, committed to mobilizing grassroots support for Governor Soludo’s second-term bid.
The group plays a vital role in galvanizing party members, stakeholders, and community influencers at ward and polling unit levels across the state.
Speaking at the joint strategic meeting tagged “Solution Marshal/APGA Tactical Meeting 2025” with the theme “Synergizing for Victory: ASSMAL and APGA Strategic Alliance,” the convener of Solution Marshal, Comrade Celestine Anere said the group’s objective is not just to replicate the 21-over-21 feat of the last election, but total sweeping of every polling unit.
He said, “The group’s commitment to working hand-in-hand with APGA leadership to ensure a sweeping victory across all 21 local government areas and every polling unit in the state.
“Our aim is not just to replicate the 21-over-21 feat of the last election. This time, we aim for a total sweep—winning at every polling unit.
“Governor Soludo has performed exceptionally well, and we are prepared to traverse every community to ensure his re-election,” he stated.
State Chairman of APGA, Barr. Ifeatu Obi-Okoye applauded the initiative and underscored the practical approach the party is taking toward the election, assuring the group of the party’s full support.
He said, “I am not a theoretical politician—I am a practical one. I know how to win elections.
“This gathering is not for entertainment. It is a strategic mobilization meeting. Every local government chairman must collaborate fully with Solution Marshal.
“We are going into this election to win, and no one should underestimate our resolve.”
Obi-Okoye urged the group to maintain unity and discipline, warning that internal conflicts could derail their shared mission.
He also called on Solution Marshal operatives to be physically present at every polling unit on election day to safeguard APGA’s votes.
“There must be no internal wrangling. That is the quickest way to undermine our progress. Total victory requires synergy from the ward to the state level.” he warned.
Also speaking at the meeting, Majority Leader of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon. Ikenna Ofodeme, praised the role of Solution Marshal in the party’s grassroots mobilization.
He acknowledged the local government party chairmen for their unwavering support, noting that they were instrumental in establishing the Solution Marshal structure.
“This is the only group that has demonstrated readiness to partner directly with our local government party leaders.
“Governor Soludo deserves a second term. Under his leadership, Anambra State has witnessed a level of development never seen before.”Ofodeme said.
He added that no political party can present a credible counter-narrative against APGA, given the administration’s solid record of achievements.
“Our focus now is not just to win, but to increase our margin of victory—from 21 over 21 to victory at every polling unit,
“Anyone who truly supports Governor Soludo must possess a voter card. Go home and mobilize. Get people registered.
“Let the local governments make budgetary provisions for voter education and mobilization.” he noted.
Praising Solution Marshal’s impact, Ofodeme stated that the group is now synonymous with the party, noting, “There is no difference anymore between APGA and Solution Marshal. We have one mission: to win November 8 decisively.”
Professor Okwy Maduekwe, Chairman of the APGA Tactical Committee, also expressed confidence in the partnership, saying the synergy between the party and Solution Marshal guarantees victory for the governor.
Similarly, Barr. Titus Akpudo, former President-General of the Anambra State Town Union and a senior marshal, reiterated that the primary objective of the gathering was strategic mobilization for Governor Soludo’s re-election.
He stressed the importance of internal cohesion, stating, “The majority of problems often arise at the ward level due to lack of understanding. We must not make that mistake this time. Unity of purpose is the key to our success.”
As the 2025 Anambra gubernatorial election approaches, APGA and its support arms, led by Solution Marshal, are intensifying efforts to consolidate grassroots support and build a united front to return Governor Soludo for a second term,one they believe is well-deserved.
