Soludo acknowledges that his political membership prevented him from building a road.
According to Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, the governor of Anambra State, he first turned down the construction of a road in the Okpoko village inside the Ogbaru Local Government region of the state because Noble Igwe, the representative for the region in the House of Representatives, belonged to the opposition party.
According to Soludohttps://punchng.com/soludo-admits-refusing-to-construct-road-due-to-political-affiliation/, when the house member protested to him about the bad condition of Nwokedi Street, he ignored the issue as he disagreed with him.
This was said by the governor on Monday during the opening of 12 kilometers of new roads in the Okpoko district.
“I rejected the advice to develop Nwokedi Street because the member of the House representing the area was previously in opposition,” the man stated. He was opposed at the time he pointed out to me the bad condition of the road and suggested that it be fixed, but I disregarded his advice.
However, while out for a stroll one day, a man pointed me a road that Noble Chukwunoso Igwe, the honorable member representing Ogbaru constituency 1, had mentioned to me. Since he was in opposition, I was unable to take any action on the road at that time.
Noble Igwe is a mainstream member of our party today, thus we have paid attention to him. Not only is he a mainstream member of our party now, but he used to be in the opposition and would chat in the parlour without anybody being able to hear him, but now he is in the bedroom having conversations with us. You must enter the bedroom so that we can hear you speak; you cannot communicate while outside.
Soludo pleaded with the populace to back his administration.
He claimed that Okpoko is the reason he is in government and promised to rehabilitate the area and instill a feeling of community among the populace.
“We wouldn’t mind utilizing all of the money in Anambra to improve Okpoko, even if there was no money there at all. Okpoko needs to be restored. “I became a governor in part to give Okpoko a name,” he said.
