The zonal publicity secretary of the Anambra Central APC, Igboeli Arinze has described the recent endorsement by Anambra Central Stakeholders of Governor Chukwuma Soludo as an effort laden with falsehood and similar to political yahoo yahoo.
He wondered what Soludo had done for the zone that would warrant any politician or person worthy of being called a son of the zone to endorse four years of nothing but “sugar candy land” projects with no immediate or future benefit to the average Anambrarian. He wondered how such failed politicians thought they could pull the wool over the eyes of the people and arrive at such endorsement.
He said “ We speak the minds of those in our zone, I speak as a true son of the zone at home with our people and in touch with it’s pulse from which I can categorically assert that what transpired yesterday in the name of endorsing the outgoing governor of Anambra remains fraudulent and is tantamount to political yahoo yahoo. One wonders what his achievements in the zone are to have warranted such an endorsement, despite the fact that his deputy is from this zone. What has changed in Awka or Abagana? What impact has the Soludo administration had on Neni or Ojoto and Ogidi? Has the Human Development Index, HDI’s changed for the better or for far worse? What is the level of security in these areas and are we better off with the Soludo? No is the music here.”
Arinze insinuated that the rally was only as a result of the fear of the incoming change in which the ticket of Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu and Senator Uche Ekwunife would chase out Soludo and his failed administration, he also pointed out how Governor Soludo had not presented any of his achievements to the rally because he had none but how 4 was better than 8 and how zoning was sacrosanct.
“ Ndi Anambra Central should also take note of the fact that rather than present his achievements to the hired crowd, the governor rather campaigned on non important factors such as four is better than eight and on the sacrosanctity of zoning in Anambra.
At a point where Anambraians are struggling with insecurity, poor infrastructure and unemployment, our governor is hinging his return on 4 is better than 8, but we will tell him with our votes that we prefer giving Ukachukwu eight more years if it would guarantee us good roads, quality healthcare, security and good schools, we in Anambra Central would readily trade another four years for such”.
