LP guber aspirant, Nwosu condemns Soludo’s plan to build N1billion fountain tower in Aguata

Labour Party Governorship aspirant for the 2025 Governorship election in Anambra has condemned the plan of Governor Chukwuma Soludo to build a close to N1billion water fountain in his local government secretariat.

Soludo and his executive council had in the last meeting had approved the construction of some roads in Anambra State, including the building of a water fountain in Aguata Local Government secretariat, where he hails from.

Nwosu in a post shared on his verified X handle condemned the move, describing it as waste of public fund.

He said: “We note the recent infrastructural projects approved by the Anambra State Exco. While the and construction of Nwagu Agulu to Nnobi to Nnewi Road and the Nnewi-Ozubulu-Okija Road are germane, the proposed Light of the Nation Tower and Fountain, at Ekwulobia, begs the question.

“Such landmarks should decorate the frontiers of Anambra State. Unquestionably, the resources meant for the tower can be better deployed to repair the numerous cratered, and badly dilapidated roads statewide; or for upgrading the state’s security infrastructure.”

Nwosu lamented that such should be expected in an election period where the governor is desperate to make a mark.

“Service and project delivery are core competencies of any government. They ought to be salutary. However, waiting for the cusp of an election to commence necessary programmes and projects is self-evident politicking. Such ploys are hardly in good faith. And haste makes waste!”
