Don Adinuba, Chief Obiano revealed that Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders across the nation \u201care among the almost uncountable number of Nigerians who have been congratulating the people of Anambra State on Soludo\u2019s emergence as the APGA gubernatorial candidate last Wednesday\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed surprise at what he called the deluge of congratulatory and solidarity messages following the erstwhile Central Bank of Nigeria governor\u2019s nomination at the APGA state congress held at Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, Awka.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll my phones have been buzzing ceaselessly\u201d, he wrote, adding, none of my four telephones can take text or WhatsApp messages any more. There are too many messages in the inbox of each of my personal and official email addresses. \u201cIt is all about Soludo\u201d.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The messages, according to him, \u201chave been coming from development partners, the organized private sector, bishops, clerics, market union leaders, professional associations, the organized labour, traditional rulers, town unions, student bodies, two former presidents, numerous former state governors, academics, writers, ndi Anambra in the Diaspora, National Assembly members, heads of federal and international agencies, people with physical disabilities, petty traders, and so on\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The governor compared the acclaim which greeted Soludo\u2019s nomination as APGA\u2019s flag bearer to his reelection in November 2017 which saw him win overwhelmingly in each of the 21 local government areas in the state, an unrivalled achievement in the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe magic of it all is that I have received calls from members of the leading opposition parties who have promised to issue statements supporting Professor Soludo\u2019s candidature even though they will remain in their respective parties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe popularity of our choice of Soludo\u201d, he continued, \u201cis comparable to such developments as the landing of three aircrafts on Anambra International Cargo and Passenger Airport on April 30, 2021, a mere 15 months after work began on the international airport built without borrowing from any bank and without owing the contractors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlmost every person who matters in our dear state has called me to thank the people of Anambra State for choosing Soludo as the governor in waiting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, I spoke to a highly respected member of the National Assembly from the Southeast this morning who said that he is inspired by the choice of Soludo that he has now made up his mind to run for the governor of his state so that his state can be made like Anambra in development\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Obiano quoted the federal lawmaker as stating that the whole of the Southeast, rather than one state, should leapfrog in developmental terms. If the Southeast could develop rapidly within 30 years like Dubai, Taiwan, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore or even Vietnam, according to the National Assembly member, the rest of Nigeria would follow suit.<\/p>\n<p>The legislator recalled that the defunct Eastern Nigerian Region was the world\u2019s fastest growing economy up to the time\u00a0 of Nigeria\u2019s first military coup in January, 1966, because of what he called healthy competition among the four regions of the First Republic.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has assured that leaders of opposition parties in the state will not only vote overwhelmingly but also campaign vigorously for the candidate of the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":83024,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
