A former governorship aspirant in Anambra State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Professor Obiorah Okonkwo has said that there is nothing exciting about the administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo, advising the governor to more for the people.
Okonkwo, who is the Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines, observed that poverty and sadness have pervaded Anambra State in the nearly two years of Professor Soludo as governor.
Warning that the mood of Anambra people could be out of control if nothing is done to change the narrative, he said Soludo has not translated his promises during the electioneering into reality.
According to him, the expectation was that Soludo, as a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), would evolve policies that would change the fortunes of the people, but it has been a period of disappointment so far.
Okonkwo said: “I’ve not seen anything exciting on the side of Soludo that will warrant people to root for his second term."
"My rating of Soludo is not that of great score. I have known Soludo for a long time and he is my good friend. I have every reason to conclude from what I have seen that Soludo has not lived up to expectation."
“He promised to turn Anambra to Dubai, Taiwan and New York. We have not seen that. For someone who has been a CBN governor, his performance is below the benchmark."
"It is surprising that someone who has attained that height would go about the generation of revenues through excessive taxes."
“In this modern age and time, it is of great concern. The situation is so bad and many people are losing excitement in going home this Christmas because the insecurity in Anambra is bad.”
