Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo, Governor of Anambra State, has stated that his administration has a deadline.

He went on to say that he dislikes excuses because there are always a dozen of them in every failure.

He said this while inspecting the 26-kilometer Ufuma-Awa-Okpeze-Ndiukwenu-Amansea Road, which is being overseen by Engr. Driekus Saayman of Stefanutti Stocks Hapel Ltd.

Soludo stated that he drove from Amansea to Ufuma to inspect the road, saying that it was supposed to be completed by December of last year according to the contract timeline.

The Governor also emphasized that he has announced the work timeline to the people and does not like making excuses when a deadline is missed.

"While the people are pleased with the pace of the work which is already at 60% completion, I'm not happy that the work hasn't been completed up till this time.

"If a job is completed, we know that it is executed and we focus on a new project. "This is the direction our administration is taking," Soludo stated.

According to the Governor, before any Contractor is considered for a new job, they must have completed up to 90% of their initial job.

The Governor charged them to vote for all APGA candidates in the upcoming election and to be ready for the upcoming National Census Exercise, which will begin after the elections.

Earlier, Hon. Ogochukwu Ekwueme, TC Chairman Orumba North, welcomed the Governor and recalled how Soludo visited Orumba on September 17, 2022, promising to fix the road, and today marks exactly five months. He said that the road construction is 60% complete, and that driving to Awka now takes him 30 minutes rather than the long hours it used to.

Mr. Ernest Ezeajughi, Governor Soludo's Chief of Staff, emphasized that the only way the Orumba people can repay the Governor for the great work he has done is to vote for all APGA candidates from the Senate to the State House of Assembly.

Lady Ify Obinabo, the Commissioner for Women Affairs, stated that the Governor says and does what he says. She thanked the Governor for his efforts on behalf of the people of Orumba North and South.

APGA Candidate, Orumba North & South Federal Constituency, Sir Eric Kanayo Eze,
Deputy Majority Leader and APGA Candidate Orumba North Constituency in Anambra House of Assembly, Hon. Emeka Aforka and APGA Candidate, Anambra South Senatorial District, Chris Azubogu welcomed the Governor to Orumba. They thanked Soludo for making their campaign easy for them because they have so much to talk about what APGA has done for the people.

The Secretary to the State Government, Prof Solo Chukwulobelu, Accountant-General Anambra State, Sir Chudi Okoli, Executive Secretary, State-Local Government Joint Account Allocation Committee, Dr. Nwankwo Ikwueto, APGA Orumba Ward Chairman, APGA Orumba Party Executives, Traditional Rulers amongst others attended the event.

If he was following Obi’s steps, he would have also invested in beer parlour business

SATANICALLY:
In a 2018 interview, Peter Obi said he invested $20 million in International Breweries on behalf of Anambra state as a governor.

Obi’s claim was in response to questions on economic development, Anambra politics and his presidential ambition.

“… Anambra state is the single-highest shareholder in that facility. I invested in it, over $20 million,” Obi had said.

“It is worth almost $100 [million] today. That’s what government should do.”

TheCable had previously fact-checked some of the claims.

Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, also debunked a recent statement ascribed to him regarding the investment.

International Breweries (IB) Plc is a subsidiary of the world’s largest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) — a multinational drink and brewing giant based in Leuven, Belgium.

In its 2021 audited financial statement, the company said it holds 43 percent economic interest in International Breweries Plc, a publicly listed company in Nigeria.

According to a report by The Nation, AB InBev merged its Nigerian operations under a single corporate entity in 2017. It had three indirect Nigerian subsidiaries — International Breweries Plc, Intafact Beverages Limited and Pabod Breweries Limited. SABMiller Nigeria Holdings BV — another subsidiary of AB InBev — was also a major stakeholder in Intafact and Pabod.

ANAMBRA’S INVESTMENT

In a statement made available to TheCable on Tuesday, Ifeatu Onejeme, Anambra’s commissioner of finance, confirmed that Peter Obi’s administration invested the sum of N1,955,535,247.00 (an equivalent of approximately $12,616,356.43 at the then average CBN exchange rate of N155.00/$1) in Intafact Beverages Limited, a green-field brewery set up in Onitsha by SABMiller Breweries of South Africa in 2012.

Onejeme added that the state government still holds 407,321,264 ordinary shares of International Breweries Plc in exchange for the Intafact Beverages Limited investment.

“Based on the NGX closing price of N5.50 as of 20/6/22, these shares were valued at N2,240,266,952 on that date,” the statement reads in part.

“Based on the Central Bank of Nigeria I&E exchange rate of N415.75/US$1.00 on same June 20, 2022, this investment was valued at an equivalent of approximately US$5,388,495.37 (and at N604/$1.00 parallel market rate, only US$3,709,051.24).”
