The Abilikete of Umunze, Igwe P.N. Eze, last Saturday, November 7, 2020, told the members of Soludo Promoters Forum, *SPF*, why Soludo was conferred with the title of Odenigbo Aguata na Orumba.

Speaking to the team of Orumba elites in the forum when they paid him a courtesy call in his palace as part of the inauguration activities of Orumba Chapters of Soludo Promoters Forum, the royal father narrated how he, among other traditional rulers in the whole of Aguata, Orumba North and Orumba South Local Governments conferred on Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo the Odenigbo Aguata na Orumba.

According to His Royal Majesty, the former Nigerian Central Bank Governor is a proud son of Aguata and Orumba, to the point that a delegation of the royal fathers had to travel to Abuja to thank the then Nigerian President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, for appointing him into such an important office. In his words, "Soludo is a man of outstanding accomplishments who has never disappointed in all the key positions he has occupied in the country".

Describing Professor Soludo as "bold and courageous man who has threaded where others feared to thread", the Abilikete of Umunze said that Soludo contributed so much to the pride of Igbo man in Nigeria and the world over. Hence, he has proved that he is indeed "Odenigbo".

The Igwe appreciated the members of Soludo Promoters Forum for paying him the visit, describing their efforts in sensitizing Anambra elites to be active participants in democratic processes as patriotic.

In a similar development, Igwe Moses Okpalanwaka, Igwe of Nkpologwu in Aguata LGA had, during the inauguration of Aguata Chapter of *SPF* in August, described Professor Soludo as an illustrious son and global icon who has no match in all ramifications as far as the post for the next governor of Anambra State is concerned. And while blessing the Kola nut during Anaocha LG inauguration in September 2020, Ichie Ikenze Mezue of Ideani who represented the Igwe of Ideani had this to say: "a community does not choose a war leader from amongst women when they have a warrior in their midst." Ichie Mezue is simply saying that Prof. Soludo should be Anambra's war leader as far as Anambra 2021 is concerned.

The Abilikete of Umunze has simply echoed what many other Royal Fathers in the State have done by commending the candidature of Prof. Soludo for the governorship of Anambra State come 2021. They have all described the economic guru as an illustrious son of the State who have all the credentials and proven capacity to take the state to the next level.
