I won’t exchange words with Soludo, he can join market women to gossip, Chukwuma hits back

By Ifeizu Joe

Governorship candidate of Young Progressives Party (YPP) in the Anambra governorship election, Mr Paul Chukwuma has hit back at Governor Chukwuma Soludo, urging him to join market women if he desires to gossip.

Soludo had visited Chukwuma’s community, Umueri at the weekend and told his people that the YPP candidate was not in the governorship contest, but merely seeking popularity.

The governor threw a light hearted banter at Chukwuma saying he used to be his friend and that it was in one of his visits to him that he saw the governor’s seat, admired it and decided to contest for governor of Anambra State.

But Chukwuma while replying to Soludo urged him to join market women if his desire as a governor was to gossip.

Chukwuma said: “If Soludo enjoys trading insults, he should go to the market where women sell pepper and ogiri to perfect the act.”

The YPP said he is serious about his contest and focused on issues that can help grow Anambra and not gossip.

He revealed he has recently visited and understudied Geometric Power in Aba and also traveled to China to deepen his knowledge in power generation and distribution.

“We are here in Anambra and do not have electricity power. Power is no longer in the exclusive list, but has been put in the concurrent list, where both the state and federal government can legislate on it. So, what is stoping Soludo from giving us steady power?

“I have visited Prof Bart Nnaji’s Geometric Power in Aba. I have asked questions, I have also been in China. Within three months I will give Anambra people steady power,” Chukwuma promised.
