Anambra State’s First Lady, Nonye Soludo, demonstrated true leadership through love in action by transforming the state with her worthy initiatives, has been commended. After observing the first lady at the Solution City while playing with the children and members of the general public recently, Mrs Ikechukwu Obiageli described the first Lady as simplicity personified. “She’s a kind-hearted person and a giver without noise. She is an inspiration to us women”.
Throwing more light on the First Lady, Adichie Izuchukwu, the Senior Special Assistance to Governor Soludo on New Media, stated that Mrs. Soludo begins her day at 5a.m with a Healthy Living Walk-out session, then visits maternity units to welcome newborns.
She doesn’t just talk about helping others, she takes action. When floods hit, she is in the trenches, wearing her rain boots, comforting frightened families, and helping them to rebuild their homes.
Her approach goes beyond kindness and compassion, it fundamentally alters how leaders connect with their constituents. She doesn’t hide behind her title; she engages directly with the people, listening, hugging, touring, and celebrating with children at Solution Fun City, the new Government House and Governor’s Lodge. Her efforts ensure that the people of the state are valued.
“People expected Nonye Soludo to be all about fancy dresses and extravagant parties like many other first ladies, but she chose a different path, one focused on meaningful work and genuine care”.
This fundamentally alters how leaders connect with their constituents, and with over 100,000 followers online, her social media presence serves a purpose beyond appearances, it is a direct channel to showcase the government’s projects, policies, and programmes.
