Professor Chukwuma Soludo, former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Chairman, Anambra Vision 2070 Committee felicitates with the good people of Anambra State and Nigerians as they celebrate the Christmas and New Year, urging them to pray and make merry and to reflect on the essence of the birth and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is his wish that love which is the central theme of the message of our Lord Jesus Christ should prevail and lead this season and always.

Soludo sends his felicitation to Governor Willie Obiano and his family wishing them a happy celebration and also commending him for the secured environment he has created in the state that has made it conducive for Ndi-Anambra to come home en mass for Christmas and new year.

He said he is excited about Anambra’s pre-eminence in the perking order of safe states in Nigeria.

Soludo, in the same vein salutes the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) family and National Chairman Dr Victor Oye for their commitment in upholding the tenets of the great party and extends his compliment in the spirit of the season.

He implored Ndi-Anambra to approach the New Year with optimism, hope and love that a secure, prosperous and happy Anambra state is the commitment of the current APGA -led government, urging them to continue to support the administration.

Soludo also invites Ndi-Anambra to bring up and share the ideas they have about the Anambra they desire with his committee, assuring that all ideas are welcomed.

He enjoins the women, men, boys and girls of Anambra State to make merry in the spirit of the season but always remember the essence of Christmas as aptly captured by the former President of United States Ronald Reagan in the following words:
‘’On Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Christ with prayers, feasting and great merriment. But, most of all, we experience it in our hearts.

For, more than just a day, Christmas is a state of mind. It is found throughout the year whenever faith overcomes doubt, hope conquers despair, and love triumphs over hate. It is present when men of any creed bring love and understanding to the hearts of their fellow man.’’

Finally Soludo who, of late has been receiving barrage of requests by well-meaning Ndi-Anambra from all walks of life to join the race for Anambra 2021 governorship election, urged his supporters to commit their demands and wishes to prayers this season and remain resolute in their belief that an African Dubai-Taiwan Anambra state is possible and doable
