RAYMOND OZOJI reports
The lawmaker representing Idemili-South state constituency in the 8th assembly of Anambra State Hon. Barr. Chukwuebuka Igwe has described Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo as an angel, saying that the angel known to the people is better than the devil they don't know.
Igwe who stated this during an exclusive interview with this journalist, noted that Governor Soludo has done very well and that it is the duty of all and sundry to reelect him into office again.
He said if within three years in office the governor could perform all the magic he has performed without borrowing, then the next five years, according to him, should be something the citizens should think about.
He said Anambra people have never mortgaged their future for anything before and that Governor Soludo's reelection is not negotiable, stressing that everyone must do everything within their powers to ensure that Soludo is returned for a second term in office.
Igwe observed that Anambra citizens are enjoying free education, free child delivery, good roads, security and other goodies under the Soludo administration; that the onus lies on every reasonable Anambra person to see to the reelection of Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo.
On the alleged consultation of native doctors to ascertain his chances in the November 8th governorship election, Igwe noted that the governor did not contact or consulted any native doctors as what happened, according to him, was just the creativity of one of the content creators who paid courtesy visit to the governor to appreciate and applaud him for the work he is doing in the state.
He said Soludo remains a christian governor and would never want to consult something he is not sure of even as he was cognisant that government was not against traditional worshippers by virtue of chapter of 4 of the 1999 constitution as amended which he said stipulated free of worship as one of the fundamental human rights.
The lawmaker stated that what government is against is that the worship or religion should not infringe on the fundamental rights of other citizens.
On the issue of whatever the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is saying about the forthcoming governorship election in the state, Igwe believes that he has the right to freedom of speech but power, according to him, belongs to God and that all the hullabaloo will end on November 8th this year through the ballots.
He therefore emphasized that whatever propaganda that is being spread around would be determined by the ballots and that Governor Soludo's reelection will not be as difficult as his first election reasons being that the governor has shown content and capacity such that even the blind, the deaf and dumb have all testified that Prof. Soludo has performed beyond the expectations of Ndi-Anambra in his first term and deserves to be reelected to continue with his trajectory of transformative governance in the state.
