The National Secretary of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Mr. Ibrahim Mani, has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Mrs. Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, a distinguished member of APGA’s Board of Trustees, on her recent appointment as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs. 

Mrs. Ojukwu’s appointment reflects her outstanding contributions to Nigeria and her deep commitment to advancing the nation's global interests.

In his congratulatory message, Mr. Mani described Mrs. Ojukwu’s appointment as a well-deserved recognition of her wealth of experience, dedication, and capability to bring meaningful impact to Nigeria’s foreign relations. 

"This appointment is akin to putting a round peg in a round hole," said Mr. Mani, emphasizing that her experience will bring valuable insights to Nigeria's economic and diplomatic initiatives on the global stage.

Mr. Mani also commended President Ahmed Tinubu, CFR, for the inclusive and balanced nature of his administration's appointments. According to Mr. Mani, the President’s approach of selecting candidates based on merit and capability, regardless of political differences, reflects a commitment to building a united Nigeria. "This inclusive approach is a testimony to Mr. President’s nationalist vision and his resolve to foster positive political change," he stated.

Furthermore, Mr. Mani lauded Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo of Anambra State for his exemplary leadership and dedication to APGA’s ideology of people-centered governance. 

The governor’s developmental strides in Anambra State have earned him national recognition as Nigeria’s best-performing governor. His commitment to using standardized methods to uplift the state’s infrastructure and services stands as a model of effective governance.

Mr. Mani also acknowledged the challenges posed by certain political elements attempting to disrupt Anambra’s progress. 

However, he expressed confidence in Governor Soludo’s resilience and commitment to transformative change. "Despite distractions, His Excellency Prof. Soludo remains focused on his mission to bring sustainable development to Anambra and to serve the downtrodden," Mani stated.

Highlighting the unity within APGA, Mr. Mani praised the party’s National Chairman, Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa, for his tireless efforts to strengthen APGA and advance its values across Nigeria. He encouraged party members and supporters to rally behind the leadership, urging those attempting to undermine APGA’s progress to redirect their energy toward building a better future for Nigeria.

The National Secretary also appealed to individuals undermining APGA's unity to reconsider their actions, reminding them of the party’s mission to provide an inclusive platform for all Nigerians. "Those seeking to subvert APGA’s progress should rather join us in building a stronger party to better serve the nation," Mani advised.

Mr. Mani stressed the importance of collaboration and dedication within the APGA family to fulfill its mandate. 

He reiterated that APGA remains committed to championing progressive policies and supporting leaders who embody the party’s ideals of equity, justice, and development for all Nigerians.
