A governorship aspirant of Labour Party (LP) in Anambra State, for next year’s governorship contest, Mr John Nwosu, has declared that the Governor of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has failed in governance.
Nwosu in a message he posted on his verified X handle said a lot of indices, including failure in governance, insecurity and the recently conducted local Government Elections, had shown that Soludo was not worth a second term.
He called on Anambra people to vote Soludo out as he had failed to meet any of his promises.
Nwosu said: ‘We recall Soludo said in 2017 that Anambra was not broken and did not need fixing (in support of his predecessor, Willie Obiano).
‘Recently, he had claimed that he was bequeathed billions of Naira in pension debts. Did it take him four years to find that out, or is he now confirming that the Anambra he inherited from Gov. Willie Obiano was badly broken?
‘So far, his political campaign and leadership promises and commitments have fallen short of expectations. The LG Elections were a sham, statutorily manipulated and failed every test of credibility, transparency and inclusivity.
‘The elections deserve close scrutiny for what they represent for Anambra State. It calls into question, if the incumbent governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, is a true democrat and one who keeps his promises to our people.
‘He then promised in 2021 that on his watch, Anambra would become Dubai. Soludo has had four years to acquit himself as a transformative leader; but he has failed woefully. It behoves Anambra People to deny him a second term,’ Nwosu said.
Speaking on security, Nwosu further added that Soludo had failed in his responsibility to protect Anambra citizens.
He said Anambra people could not in good conscience give Soludo another four-years as he might end up destroying the state.
