The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa, extended his congratulations to the couple and urged younger generations to model their relationships after the Soludos to rebuild families and, by extension, society.

Among the dignitaries at the mass celebration were the Deputy Governor, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim, and his wife, the Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Somtochukwu Udeze, the Traditional Ruler of Isuofia, Igwe Aloysius Moghalu, top government officials, and members of the clergy.
