Over the years, political party leadership in Nigeria has been dominated by individuals in their fifties or older. However, age is not the only measure of a leader’s capability, and younger leaders can also bring a lot of positive change to the table if they possess the political will to work. Barr. Ezeokenwa Sly Jr is a prime example of this, as he has taken on the role of National Chairman of APGA at a young age and shown great commitment in upholding the party’s ideals of excellence, progressivism, and societal impact.
Prior to becoming National Chairman of APGA, Ezeokenwa served in other positions within the party, including as State Legal Adviser and National Legal Adviser. He distinguished himself as a man of character who was always willing to go the extra mile, even representing the party and its candidates in court pro bono. The wealth of experience that Ezeokenwa brought to the table as Commissioner for Special Duties in Anambra State also played a crucial role in his ascent to the position of National Chairman.
Under Ezeokenwa’s leadership, APGA has gained a newfound relevance and appeal to young people who are looking for a party that embodies the qualities they believe in. Ezeokenwa has simplified the office of the National Chairman and given every elected official of the party an equal voice, creating a level playing field for all. He has also demonstrated a deep sense of character and integrity, recognizing that a good reputation is far more valuable than wealth or power.
Overall, Ezeokenwa’s leadership has breathed new life into APGA and transformed the party into a valuable member of Nigeria’s political landscape. While age is not the sole determinant of leadership success, Ezeokenwa has proven that young leaders can bring a lot of positive change to the table when they have the right skills, experience, and character. As he continues to lead APGA, there is no doubt that he will inspire a new generation of young people to take up leadership positions in Nigeria and beyond.
