It was solution availability chanting everywhere as Soludo’s Local Government Campaign Team storms Akpo Community, promising better days ahead.
The venue was Nkwo Akpo Market Square, where men from all walks of life, indigenes and non indigenes trouped out in their numbers in solidarity to Soludo’s continuity in office, on October 31.
The former Chairman, Aguata LGA, Chief Titus Anigbogu who led the team said, “Soludo’s reelection is sacrosanct in the sense that it is Ndi Anambra project. It is not about party affiliation, individual interest but about collective interest of Ndi Anambra.
“For instance, making Ekwulobia urban city had been in making, since the time of Governor Jim Nwobodo of Old Anambra State, yet remain in pot cooking until Soludo became governor. Go to Ekwulobia Roundabout today and see things for yourself.
“Employment of over 8000 teachers, promise of going to employ more, establishment of smart schools are all foundations to Dubai Taiwan he promised.
“We need not to make any mistake about this, the desired solution is here indeed. Let us come out on November 8 to consolidate it as we cast our votes at the cock column. All Progressive Grand Alliance(APGA) is the party.
The Chairman, Aguata LGA, Dr Chibueze Ofobuike, expressed gratitude to Ndi Akpo for being supportive to APGA, described the community as progressive, asking them not to relent.
He reminded Ndi Akpo that Uga, Amesi, Akpo, Ogboji Road under construction now, was awarded during time of Governor, Dr Chinwoke Mbadinuju who ruled Anambra State between 1999 and 2003.
“It is common Knowledge therefore that governor came and went without placing a trip of sand to this road until Soludo became governor.
“I can make bold to tell you that more projects are coming. My reasons are, the projects done and being done are visible, seeing they say, is believing. Let us do our own part of the bargain as we come out on Saturday, November 8 and vote.
“APGA is saying, we have done well, we are doing well, give us opportunity to continue doing well.”
He regretted voter apathy that had been in Anambra State due to fear of vote not counting.
“The narrative ought to change, coming out to vote is your own part of bargain of choosing who rules. Play to covering your wing formidably as you prepare for Saturday’s Election.
“Make good breakfast for yourself and family. Go to the polling boot, vote, remain there to making sure your vote counts. Anambra State is our own. We owe the duty of making it what we want it to be.”
The President General, Akpo Development Association( ADA), Nze Henry C. Dim said, “I am not into partisan politics. I made promise to Ndi Akpo when I was wanting PG’s office and I am not good at giving away my promises, yet there is no sense changing winning team.
“Every community in Anambra State has benefited from Soludo’s government. So, it is suicidal to jettison all these benefits for self aggrandisement. Come out en masse let us vote continuity and watch our votes count.”
Remarkable highlight of the occasion is senior citizen, Mr Joseph Okpalobi who has been in PDP since 1999, jettisoned his PDP membership alongside his numerous supporters to join APGA, attributing his action to Soludo’s superlative performance in office.
He reiterated that it is wrong to call good evil in the name of politics. “Soludo’s performance in office is good and ought to continue.”
Calibres from far and wide graced the occasion. Prominent among them include Nze Cyprian Okpala, Chief Executive Officer(CEO), Anambra State Erosion, Water Shed and Climate Change Agency, Prof. Philip Phil-Eze, Member Anambra State House of Assembly, Mr Anayo Okpaleke.
