*IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER!!!*


*_"We will work to actively empower and create a thousand Youth Millionaires in one year"_*


-- Cee Cee Soludo

Above is the correct quote from Prof. Chukwuma Soludo while addressing members of the APGA State Executive Committee at a resent consultative meeting. The haste to churn out sensational headlines for traffic and trends is one of the downsides of the new Media that is rapidly taking roots in the mainstream or traditional media.

They cause the harm, earn the traffic and turn around to issue apologies. This must be discouraged. More disappointing is the fact that a hitherto reputable News medium like *Punch Newspapers* could be caught in this same vicious web of junk journalism.

An Economist of Soludo's cast cannot be careless with important Statistics, neither will he employ same for political grandstanding. "A million Jobs for the youths every year" in a State like Anambra sounds, and in the actual sense is, bogus.

Much as we pride in the fact that Soludo is known for his "big ideas", we cannot concede to one that is intended to make him appear shallow. This is just to put the records straight for our sincere supporters and the reading public.

But is that not achievable in a whole year? Our of the millions can't they work to empower a milla in a year?

The same way the misquoted the other candidate on building of universities in every community? Might look like humble mistakes by the tabloids involved, but when you scratch further, you may find out this was intentionally done by some "cash n carry editors" to rubbish his candidature..

wahala

Promise only what you can do and please give your very best to the people that elected you.

Don't make audio promises like buhari did in 2015.

I wish you well Soludo.

Na beans, how many youths dey Anambra sef? ten thousand per year is more feasible, the empowered ten thousand will then empower others, multiplier effects ....abi

Nigeria will be great again

Prof. Soludo is a first class brain. I knew he was misquoted by that Punch correspondent. Many journalists of these days are half baked. Their dictation, style of report etc usually give them away as either hired pen assassins or crass incompetent in the wrong line of work.
