By Mary Obi

The Young Progressives Party (YPP) governorship candidate for Anambra State in the 2025 elections, Sir Paul Chukwuma, has been widely praised as a disciplined and committed leader who lives by genuine values and dedicates his life to blessing others.

This commendation came in a heartfelt wedding anniversary message from his media aide, Mr. Ebuka Onyekwelu, who reflected on the exemplary character of Sir Paul and his wife, Lady Ify Chukwuma, as they celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary.

In the message, Mr. Onyekwelu said:
“Happy 20th wedding anniversary to Sir Paul Chukwuma, Esq.

Having known Sir Paul and Lady Ify personally, I have been privileged to observe their family life closely. They embody discipline and uphold real values through their actions. Their relationship offers a model for newly married couples and those aspiring to marriage, underscoring the idea that a strong family foundation is essential for a thriving society.

One of the most striking aspects of their life together is their modesty. They live simply, away from noise and fanfare, focused instead on positively impacting those around them.

Both Sir Paul and Lady Ify are deeply compassionate, demonstrated by the warmth and respect they extend to guests of all ages and backgrounds.

Their home is a nurturing environment where they are raising confident, value-driven children. Remarkably, despite living and studying in Western societies, all of their grown children speak and understand the Igbo language fluently—a significant achievement for any Igbo family.

At 47 years old, Sir Paul marks two decades of marriage, having wed at the age of 27.

I celebrate this couple and the blessings they have brought to many lives. Truly, a man’s public success is rooted in his private victories. Congratulations, and may your home continue to be an inspiration to us all.”
