Anambra State is one of the most sophisticated State in Nigeria, the home of many of Nigeria’s greatest and finest souls, a state where the sons and daughters have scored many firsts in wherever fields they find themselves. At Chief Anyaegbu’s (Chisco) Book (YOU TOO CAN DO IT) launch recently in Lagos, Governor Peter Obi took time out to celebrate the many firsts Anambrans have scored in Nigeria’s political landscape.

The list was almost endless as time failed him to complete the chronicle. Because of the huge success of our big time traders, other Nigerians think Anambra people are foolish money bags, foolish traders who do not know their lefts and rights but the truth of matter is that Anambra people have succeeded in businesses and in politics. We have not been cheated politically since the inception of that state in Nigeria. Anambra people have always known their rights and have always fought for it. Anambra people have never been conquered politically.

NPN tried to do it but failed. PDP cheated Anambra people in between 1999 and 2003 and in 2003 elections, our people rejected PDP. Even though they stole our people’s mandate for three years, our people fought and retrieved it. PDP used the stolen mandate in the State Assembly to illegally impeach Governor Obi, but Anambra people resisted the criminal impeachment.

Today PDP is returning to Anambra State, a State that has totally ejected the useless Party to try to impose Professor Soludo on the people of my beloved state. But this cannot work in the 21st century in Anambra State, the land of the wise. Anambra people do not want PDP and their so-called candidate, Professor Chukwuma Soludo. I just came back from the East on 19th October 2009 and I saw motorcycles, rice, Hollandis, money being distributed to our people at the instance of Chukwuma Soludo. But the truth must be told that Anambra State is not for sale. The state has been in the news for years now for the wrong reasons, and this must stop. If Soludo gives you cloth, motorcycle, Hollandis, money, take it because it does not belong to him. It is the people’s stolen money.

We saw the process that produced Soludo as PDP candidate in Anambra. We saw how the invaders led by Chief Tony Anenih stormed the state to rob our people. Tony Anenih, the PDP’s ‘Mr fix it’ which is another name for stealing people’s votes for his party, PDP has relocated to Anambra State. Having been worsted, disgraced, humiliated and politically routed in his home State, Edo State by the big boy, Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Tony Anenih has shifted base to Anambra State but he will fail. This man who sold the mandate of his party, SDP to IBB and Abacha in 1993 and caused the deaths of 5000 Nigerians including Chief MKO Abiola and his wife, Kudirat think Nigerians are fools. Now, Chief Tony Anenih must hear this: Mr Tony Anenih please in the name of God quit politics now! Tony Anenih quit now!! Tony Anenih quit politics now in your own interest!!!

As I write this Soludo is chasing his fellow contestants (46 of them) with 35 million each (some are getting more depending on their capacity) to step down and accept him. Now, where is all this money coming from? This kind of money circulated during Soludo’s bid to seek a second term as CBN Governor. And part of the reason why he failed was that President Yar’Adua was stunned by the volume of money Soludo was throwing around to seek a second term and decided to close his chapter as CBN Governor. I swear the huge sums of money came from the fraudulent and disgraced bank CEOs. I challenge Nigerian security agencies to investigate Chief Tony Anenih accounts. He cannot come to Anambra State to rig Soludo to power without collecting millions.

As Soludo is distributing his stolen funds (the Nigerian people’s money) the new CBN Governor Mr Lamido Sanusi is releasing gamut of information on a daily basis that continously indicts Soludo as the former CBN Governor who came, saw and failed to conquer. If Soludo is wise he would have withdrawn from this race to go and clear his soiled, discredited and abused name. Othello in Shakespeare says; he who steals my purse steals nothing but he who tries to steal my good name robs me of the immediate jewel of my soul. Meat sellers, groundnut sellers, pepper seller, drivers, conductors, farmers money was stolen by the banks Chiefs and a huge some of them released to Soludo to look the other way while the rot continued. Now Soludo thinks that these monumental revelations will just be swept under the carpet and he will just be rewarded with the governorship of Anambra State? No, no, my brother, it will never, never happen. Go and clear your name as the former CBN Governor first!

Lamido Sanusi has been doing his job without saying anything about his predecessor, but his silence on Soludo speaks volumes. Professor Soludo has been keeping quiet on the huge and mind boggling revelations about his tenure at CBN but silence is not golden at this point in time. If Soludo fails to understand that the trouble in the banking industry today in Nigeria is an indictment on his person, he is the biggest fool of the century. If Soludo thinks that he can ignore Sanusi’s revelations and pretend as if nothing is happening, I pity him and his ambition to rule Anambra State. I implore Lamido Sanusi to extend his investigations to the stock market scam Professor Soludo presided over in the years of the locust. The banks CEOs, stock brokers, and their cronies criminally worked together to rob Nigerians including this writer of their hard earned money.

They connived, schemed, and fraudulently manipulated the stock prices just to rob Nigerians and after they brought the prices of the stocks down and put the blame on global meltdown. And I ask; which global meltdown? Do we manufacture anything in this country? I mean do we manufacture cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, electronics, airfrafts, industrial machines etc? So what concerns Nigeria with global meltdown? They just stole our money with Soludo presiding. Please Sanusi investigate the stock, market scam!

As I write this in the morning of Tuesday October 20 2009, my vendor brought in the papers and I saw the FrontPage story with the caption, Soludo: I am ready for probe. I said; good, the man is thinking. Soludo must go the whole hog. Reveal everything, tell the truth and nothing but the truth. This is the path of sanity. This is the path to redeem your battered image, this is the path to reclaim your terrible and badly rubbished name. Withdraw your inordinate ambition and go and sanitize your name and your father’s good name. This is the path of truth – the hallmark of civilisation, the hallmark of leadership.

Why did you present this story as if you wrote it. You would have at least been civil enough to quote the source or link it here.

Abi are you too much in a hurry to feed us the sumptuous story that you forgot

Phew!   Quite a windy & sensational write up. If these allegations are true, get the necessary evidence and have the man prosecuted, otherwise your post just appears like a campaign of calumny!

why don't we vote for chris ngige of apga instead,

You dont have enough facts to nail the dude. Too watery to nail any criminal.
You don`t sit behind a computer and type whatever you feel. Gather facts and we will help you consume and chanel it to the appropriate place. Abeg leave the guy man alone.

Why the beef now?

Let the politiking begin, Anambra has always been an interesting political field.

please Gestapo, this is not a political site.lf you have any score to settle with soludo, go to him and do that and stop wasting your energy and time to write something that is frivolous and ridicule.

We want articles that are not baseless and can be proved.We are in nigeria and we know what is happening.
CBN issue is beyond the way you are seeing it.

there is modicum of truth in his submission. only that he is too sentimental.the problem is with PDP and not Soludo!

I am still saying it,I am not campagning for anybody.I am not even from Anambra,though i have been following Anambra state political updates for long.Soludo though a good product and has a higher academic records,but all these are not enough to qualify him to pilot the affairs of the hot state like Anambra.Above all,he is not independent.His PDP chalatans and Asorock landlords that selected him will as well be teleguiding him,and he must be making returns to them of his proceeds.The only man that fit Anambra state among all these aspirants is Dr.Chris Nwabueze Ngige.Lets forget about all these political maneouvering that PDP have been using and holding Anambra state in bondage and look for a man who the cap fits to withstands the hot seat of Anambra state government house.No other person for now,among all the aspirants than NGIGE.Believe it or not,time shall tell.

Farous! he who wears the shoe knows where it pinches most. Anambra people know why they voted en mass for Peter Obi in the first place and why they need his mandate extended in this changing time.what he is doing now in Anambra state are fundamental things that need to have been brought to bear in our state over the decades.we dont need only road network but improvement of all sectors to be equalled with that of our neigbouring states. could you believe that non of the annambra state hostpitals and health institutions were accreditated by year 2007.many riverline areas has not seen tarred road network by the year 2008? but kilometres many roadnetworks were contructed during the Ngige administration but non was extended to riverline areas but were concentrated on a particular senatorial district.First time in the history of modern Anambra state, we are massive facelifts of schools cutting across all the local governments in the state.Go to Anambra state tertiary instituions, there are hot cakes now.You are not in the better position to determine the best canditate for our state.We know why we want Obi- THE ROCK OF IGBO NATION.

@archangel1

Who made your Peter Obi the rock of Igbo nation?

Ournaija:

@archangel1

Who made your Peter Obi the rock of Igbo nation?

I was going to say just that. We literally worship individual.

The guy was voted to perform in the first place. All elected officers are expected to perform. Igbos and titles

Rock ko! Kilimanjaro ni!

His good works made "the rock of igbo nation". if you are not from anambra state better leave us to choose and manage our leader.

@poster,
Stop being sentimental.PDP IS THE PROBLEM NOT SOLUDO. FROM THE LOOK OF THINGS HE'S THE BEST PDP CANDIDATE.
OR WOULD IT BE BETTER IF YOU CHOOSE SOMEONE LIKE CHRIS UBA,ANNIE OKONKWO OR OTHERS WHO ARE LIKELY TO RULE LIKE MBADINUJU.

@bracelet & ournaija>
mind you states!

@ poster

Your post is baseless, a fabricated story generated with a lot of sentiment.

I guess u one of Obi's cohorts who have chosen to use this medium in campaigning and dragging the name of Soludo into mud. You have failed. Where were you when he was working as CBN Governor? I'm sure you and others critisizing him today were boasting about him then as a worthy ambassador.

Here u are today. Traitor

I guess that's what the media and the internet is for - heck that's what Democracy is all about: People are free to express their opinion! Even if it's stupid!!

Today PDP is returning to Anambra State, a State that has totally ejected the useless Party to try to impose Professor Soludo on the people of my beloved state. But this cannot work in the 21st century in Anambra State, the land of the wise. Anambra people do not want PDP and their so-called candidate, Professor Chukwuma Soludo.

If Soludo gives you cloth, motorcycle, Hollandis, money, take it because it does not belong to him. It is the people’s stolen money.

Funny you'd say this. When Peter Obi has been doing the same thing with government money since he came into power. What kind of government dashes people millions of naira without any kind of scheme, approval, budget or even need!

I expect Soludo to be critisized. Isnt that what happens what happens when you bring yourself out for the public to look?

A Government that considers VIPit toilets worthy achievement??

NGIGE is d man of the people

This guy is playing politics, who do you think you are decieving?

A Government that considers VIPit toilets worthy achievement??

Ha ha!!

@poster
No thanks for the hatchet job you tried to do concerning soludo. You are supposed to be abroad yet you are witnessing what is going on in our state. I dont know if you are fronting for mr Joe Igbokwe of the AC or another person but as you rightly pointed out, we can not be fooled by people like who fronts for other people using sentiments to pull someone else down. Just last week, Peter Obi, without approval gave every town in Anambra state the sum of N2M each to go and buid a primary school in their town which must be commissioned by Dec 2009. He never did that over the years but now that campaign has started, he just realised that he can deceive us with his greek gift!!!!!!!!!! Pls leave Soludo alone.

Politics everywhere!!!

I think ngige is best candidate.

Ecclesiastes 1 Verse 9:

What has been will be again
What has been done will be done again
There is nothing new under the sun

First Abacha, now Soludo. When is Babangida's son going to get into the fray

In nigeria anything&evrything is possible

Abeg where Soludo de shear the money? Na wetin dem be now PDP shear the money. Abeg I wan collect my own after all during voting if there will be any we know whom to vote.

I guess i have not been following Anambra politics. But please, can the followers of Ngige and Peter Obi share with us why they deserve the post.

Gestapo,
U no get work!!!!!!!!!!!

Soludo shld knw dat once u decide to enter politics, all manner of lies tend 2 crop up.tooo bad different versions of lies are being heaped on him.
