“Anambra tired of waiting for your promised ‘Dubai, Taiwan” – Valentine Ozigbo

Valentine Ozigbo, the Special Adviser to former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, has criticized Governor Charles Soludo for failing to deliver on his promises of transforming Anambra State into a Dubai or Taiwan-like destination.

Ozigbo claims that under Soludo’s administration, the state’s economy has suffered, leading to widespread poverty and hardship among the people. He also points out that the deteriorating security situation in the state has made it unsafe, with people being unable to visit their homes and those who are living in constant fear.

In a post on his social media handle, Ozigbo accused Soludo of rushing and pressuring the State House of Assembly to amend the Anambra Electoral Act.

He believes that this move was intended to facilitate the governor’s plan to manipulate the electoral process and impose his loyalists on the people in his bid for re-election.

“In his characteristic manner of positioning himself as “the wisest in the room,” Governor Soludo hastily orchestrated and pressured the State House of Assembly into amending the Anambra Electoral Act.

“This move is designed to facilitate his planned rigging and impose his loyalists on Ndi Anambra in his flawed re-election bid.

“While this illegal act is bound to be fruitless, we must not fall into the trap of boycotting the so-called election. Instead, we will seize every opportunity to show him that Ndi Anambra is weary of waiting for the promised Dubai and Taiwan.

“Worse still, we can’t even visit home, and those who at home live in constant fear! The entire economy of Ndi Anambra has been crippled, leaving our people to struggle in poverty.

“I have suggested to the leadership of our party and some of our elected members that we should present candidates to our people who possess the capacity, character, and compassion to bring about positive and impactful change at the grassroots level.

“This is without prejudice to the need to challenge some obnoxious provisions of the amended act that contradict national laws and common sense.

“The Governor does not deserve another chance, and we will continue to counter his nefarious schemes at every turn.”
