From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha
National Coordinator, All Progressives Grand Alliance Media Warriors Forum, Evang. Chinedu Obigwe yesterday said he feels vindicated hearing and seeing opposition party members and many other ndi Anambra giving testimonies of the good work Governor Soludo is doing in Anambra State.
Obigwe who spoke on the sidelines of the 2nd year anniversary of Governor Soludo as Anambra Governor said people are now confessing with their mouth that what Governor Soludo did in Anambra State within a short space of two years in office has never been done in the history of Anambra State creation.
“An opposition party lawmaker from Nnewi South confessed that the past administration in Anambra State constructed about 200km Road projects in the State under 16years but the jinx breaker, Governor Soludo awarded about 450km Road projects and completed 247km under 2years.
“To be honest, Prof Soludo is a jinx breaker Governor. Am not surprised because Governor Soludo will always tell you that he is intentional with what he is doing in Anambra State and that statement points to the fact that he came prepared to perform magic in our state.
“This is exactly what I have been saying that if Governor Soludo 2years will be like this that by the time he completes 8years in office that Anambra will turn to a reference point for good governance in Nigeria and Africa at large”.
“My happiness is that all Labour Party lawmakers that are now speaking out re echoed what I have been saying. Anambra electorates made the best choice during the last 2021 governorship election. We have not even seen the best of Governor Soludo because he will even use his mouth to tell whomever that cares to listen that his best is yet to come. The almighty God gave ndi Anambra Governor Soludo in 2021 as a blessing for him to eradicate bad governance from our State and that divine mission is being fulfilled”.
Obigwe said Soludo at the inception of his administration disrupted the system of governance and made it clearly known to everyone that it is no longer business as usual.
He said the governor took the first bold step of cutting down the cost of governance and blocked lots of government funds drain pipe and then channelled the funds to life changing projects.
“Governor Soludo is constructing roads but not any how roads.The roads he constructed are roads that have economic value to our people. If you go to rod market at head bridge Onitsha, you will see how Governor Soludo constructed quality roads for the rod dealers from one street to the other and that has eased the stress of doing business for them.
“It did not take Governor Soludo time to execute the Akpaka road projects and connect it with a link road to housing estate 3-3 that will take you straight to 33 junction Onitsha. That Akpaka road project has eased the heavy traffic that always trap motorists on 3-3 road.
“As if that was not enough, Governor Soludo used a short space of 2 years to execute the 26km Amansea, Ebenebe, Ugbenu, Ugbene and Awba Ofemili road project. A road that cuts across five communities. This is a project many governments will run away from because of the huge cost but such is where Governor Soludo deemed fit to deploy the scarce resources of Anambra State for the development of those five communities”.
“The most interesting aspect of it is that Governor Soludo is working in all sectors of governance. If you go to ministry of public utilities, you will discover that Governor Soludo is performing wonders in that ministry. He is reviving all the water schemes in Anambra State for ndi Anambra to start fetching government supplied water”.
“Our Youths were not left out because as Governor Soludo is fighting crime, he is empowering them with skills acquisition training and capital after the training for them to have a good means of earning a living”.
“On insecurity, I say it everywhere I go that Governor Soludo has done marvelously well because we know how the dreaded unknown gunmen use to wreck havoc in our State in the past. Our local governments, police stations and other government owned facilities are no longer witnessing deadly attacks from the dreaded unknown gunmen”.
“As at today in Anambra, Governor Soludo has turned the dreaded unknown gunmen to hit and run cowards that cannot withstand the superior firepower of his well equipped and prepared security operatives. It has been 2years of verifiable dividends of governance delivery to ndi Anambra under the watch of our beloved Governor Soludo. Kudos to him and more grease to his elbow” Obigwe concluded.
