Anambra is doing well under Obiano – Soludo

Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has stated that Anambra State is doing well under the current government led by Willie Obiano

He stated this while making his intention to run for the governorship of Anambra in the November 6 poll known on Thursday.

Declaring his ambition on Thursday in Awka, he said he had been a party man since 2013 and would be better, if APGA offered him the ticket.

He said that Anambra had experienced steady prosperity under APGA.

“I granted an interview where they asked if I still stand by what I said in 2017 that ‘if Anambra is not broken, why mend it’ and I told them that Anambra is more sound now.

“In 2010, Federal Bureau of Statistics conducted a survey and said the poverty rate in Anambra was 53 per cent.

“In 2020, it conducted another survey and said poverty rate had gone down to 14.7 per cent, what else can you use to measure good governance.

“Anambra is doing well under Obiano and my mission is to continue and complete all the legacy projects of the governor,” Soludo said.
