Wonderful news!

Nice to see embassies and high commissions are realising they need a presence outside of Abuja and Lagos! Ugwuanyi should lobby the British Council to reopen their closed centre in Enugu!

Next is for the US to get a visa office in the south-east!

There's nothing wonderful about this. If you understand the US policy in Africa, you will know the only thing that drives it is CHINA. Why haven't they thought about opening this since, why now? The answer is because China opened a Confucius institute in awka, so they are just there to counter China and keep tabs on them. If they are serious, they would have taken it to UNN.

History will forever be kind to Governor Obiano. The father of the new, emerging Anambra state. For the first time, I'm proud to come from Anambra state under his leadership. Which other governor goes the extra mile to give his state the best.

Re: Update on developments in Anambra state-photos by Ofodirinwa: 11:38pm On Jun 23, 2021
Soludo is a career politician. As a career politician he will play career politics. Obi and Obiano were unknown (in politics) and selected from the private sector to come serve and leave. Anambra has been fortunate with that situaton. Soludo has been running around looking for a position since Obasanjo. Anyone who is known more for politics than their life endeavors will show you why this is the case in due time. Forget this technocrat nonsense. the technocrats we know are being recruited by organizations around the world. When he governorship is over Obiano, like Obi before him, has an entire life he can return to. Soludo will stockpile public money to sustain his political career and will regularly side with the north (with glee) in issues concerning security and safety. He spent the whole of Jonathan's admin campaigning for Buhari and lobbing all sorts of venom on Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala because that's what he's feeders sent him to do. Since ppl have the memory of a fish, that one won't be counted. If Anambra fails to elect Maduka, who is not a career politician and doesn't need Nigerian politics or even Nigeria to survive, you will see something.

Soludo is not a career politician. He is a bright economist who does things without caring whose ox is gored. He would make a far better governor than Maduka because he has been in government and knows how it works. He will not be learning in his first 4 years nor will he be conned by all those criminals and incompetents in various ministries . He will have a strategy that is built on empirical facts. He will be a better governor than Obi whose first tenure was directionless and better than Obiano whose nepotism and cronyism is why his many projects are mediocre.

But there are forces against Soludo because he represents change. The career politicians that siphon money from ANSG will not have much leeway. The lazy crookish imbeciles in govt will be monitored.

when you say how it works, remember what you're saying. How it works. How does government in Nigeria work? Coni-coni? arrangee, bribe, indiscipline, no rule of law, elephant projects, overseas accounts, thugs, submitting to northerners with no real power beyond your submission, nepotism? That's 'how it works'. Is this what you want?

Don't say what he 'will' do, look at what he's done and ask yourself if that's what you want.
What has he done?: Nothing

He has been using the 'economist' line for how long now and nobody in Nigerian politics has seen him as meritable enough for a position for 20 years? Soludo was in the same camp as that bring back our girls woman, and all the other igbos buhari dumped when the time came despite their loyal footwork. Anyways I think I've said my own case, if that's what Anambra what's so be it but I think it will be a mistake

This appears to me like a character defamation than a fair criticism. But , to put the record straight , Soludo was recruited by President Obasanjo as a world renowned economist to come and fix out banking secto. He came in like a shrewd technocrat and overhauled our banking system. He introduced the recapitalization policy and our banks were able to stabilize and do business without too many risk.

Now , I am not here to prop up Soludo and sell him to Ndi Anambra but I will dutifully give credits to whom deserves it and criticize them, when needed.

Personally, I am not a fan of Soludo and this is not because I think he can't do the job with excellence , but because I think he is arrogant and disrespectful ...at least to Peter Obi. Soludo's relationship with Obi got sore because the former started begrudging Obi after he (Soludo) was disqualified from APGA primaries 7yrs ago. Soludo was disqualified because he had a pending case with the EFCC , and Obi thought it doesnt look good to have a questionable character on the party's ticket. The very same primaries produced Gov. Willie Obiano. It was also on this same primary election that Oseloka Obaze( the brain behind Obi's success and the man who could have become the governor) was disqualified for not having a voters card. While Obaze took it in good faith, Soludo felt he is too big to be checked by the governor of Anambra state.

So, I don't dislike Soludo but I am undecided about him. My favorites to that seat are Ike Obosi Chidoka ,Oseloka Obaze and Iyom Ekwunife in that order.

Conclusion; Soludo has what it takes to transform the state in 10yrs if he puts his many marvelous ideas into practice. I also disagree with you that he is a career politician , because he was first a scholar and a technocrat who is striving to contribute his ideas and knowledge to the growth and advancement of our beloved father land , before politics. I dont think it fair to undermine the knowledge and experience the man has build over many years just to score a point. Soludo cant be described as a career politician because he is more than just a politician......Chimamanda's Tedtalk about dangers of a single story comes to mind. Speak the full length of the man!

Ikengawo aka offordirinwa, it will be better you face your backward useless worthless Imo state that has been directionless due to charlatans, mediocres, incompetent local champions that have ruled that state since 1999.

Anambra has got it right in governance since the time if Ngige, Obi, Obiano and now have positioned Soludo another technocrat to take over, while Imo has continued to marshal out one 419 kingpin after another since 1999.

Anambra is a different state, no amount of propaganda from hell can change our resolve. Anambrans across party lines are yearning for Soludo. He is thoroughbred technocrat. He has led the highest economic team in this country. He knows how to transform economy because of his economic radicalism. He is not a politician but a pure genius in economics.

Anambra will move to the next phase of continued development and advancement with the coming of Soludo. Anambra wins.

Acceptance speech by Pro Chukwuma Soludo after winning APGA primary

2. With humility, gratitude, and utter submission to the will of God, I accept your nomination as the gubernatorial candidate of APGA in the November 6, 2021 Anambra governorship election. I thank the Alpha and Omega who, in His infinite wisdom decided that I should come from Anambra State of Nigeria; and who has abundantly blessed me beyond imagination. In gratitude to Him, I will devote every minute of my remaining life on earth to serve Him by working to leave here better than I met it. This moment is God’s time, and God’s time is “the time”!


3. At this moment, I offer nothing but statements of gratitude. First, let me thank you all, our esteemed APGA delegates and thousands of our members whom you represent, for the mandate to fly our flag. I am grateful to our members at the 326 wards, local government and state executives; members of NWC, BOT and NEC. I am particularly grateful to our indefatigable national chairman, Ozonkpu (Dr) Victor Ike Oye and his dear wife who foresaw and worked extremely hard for this day. You have proved to be an uncommon leader.

Our biggest thanks go to our national leader/BOT Chairman and ably working governor of Anambra, Chief (Sir) Willie Maduaburochukwu Obiano and his amiable and supportive wife. Akpokuedike! You have shown exemplary leadership and statesmanship. I deeply treasure your belief, courage, iron-clad commitment and leadership on this project. Under you and our national chairman, APGA is stronger as Nigeria’s third largest political party and a clear leader in several ways. We shall have a more auspicious time to celebrate you!

I want to thank my wife and children for their love. I understand your concerns and sacrifices, and appreciate your understanding and prayers. Our God is on the throne!


4. Let me also thank all the 31 self-funding support groups with over 200,000 members (ASSG, U-AYA/U-AWA), as well as the millions of Ndi Anambra who have been praying and demanding that I should step out to serve--- especially at these challenging times in Nigeria. I am deeply grateful to the clergy, the traditional rulers, ASATU, ASMATA, various youth and women organizations, trade and professional associations, CSOs, NGOs, etc who have rallied behind us. We thank all Nigerians from other states who have also urged and supported us. Let me particularly thank the INEC, under the sterling leadership of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu for its professionalism, especially in monitoring today’s primaries. APGA is a law abiding party that is thorough about due process. It has never neglected or breached due process/electoral law: not now, not in the future! We also appreciate the Security agencies.


5. To the gallant co-aspirants, I salute your courage and participation in the democratic process. Let me offer my hand of fellowship, and look forward to a partnership with all of you for greater APGA and for greater Anambra.


6. To the millions of Ndi Anambra, I say: This is your moment, seize it! The November election is a very consequential election for the state. It will determine in which direction and speed of our march towards progress or retrogression. We are a unique state, richly blessed with exceptionally productive human capital scattered all over the world but struggling to build a livable and prosperous homeland. Past governors tried their best. Gov. Mbadinuju established Anambra State University; Governor Ngige built some strategic roads; while Gov Peter Obi as an APGA governor built more roads and in compliance to APGA manifesto, touched other sectors. Our current governor and leader of APGA, has taken it to the next level by combining both the micro and macro dimensions of governance: unprecedented security, Light up Anambra, 17 bridges and roads, community choose your projects; institutionalization of governance; and now the Anambra international cargo/passenger airport, international conference centre, Awka township stadium, etc. A fundamental summary measure of APGA government’s impact on the welfare of the people is the poverty incidence. According to the NBS, poverty incidence in Anambra declined from 53% in 2010 to 14.78% in 2020. There is no state government with comparable revenue that is doing better. So, partisan politics aside, APGA is serving the people better, and Ndi Anambra don’t want to go back to Egypt!


7. Of course, the road to Anambra becoming a middle to upper income, livable and prosperous homeland will remain a work-in-progress for a while. The government over the next four years will have to lay the foundation for the Anambra Vision 2070. Ours is a land of infinite possibilities and opportunities. We need continuity, consolidation, and transformation to build on the existing foundation and maximize our potentials. We need to unite and mobilize the creative energies and capital of our people all over the world as well as other investors to live out the essence of our motto: “Light of the Nation”. We shall unveil our manifesto at the launch of the campaign in August .[/b]


8. To our beloved people of Anambra, here I come! I am a poor boy whom God has lifted and gifted to serve. To the glory of God, I reached the peak of my professional career in my 30’s; had the privilege of living in Ethiopia, U.K, USA, and travelled to 45 other countries as itinerant scholar and consultant to 20 international development and financial institutions before I was called to serve the FGN in 2003. Until 2009, I served as Chief Economic Adviser to President Obasanjo; CEO of National Planning Commission; Governor of Central Bank; Chairman of Nigerian Mint; founding Chairman of AFC; and chair or member of over 25 committees. To the glory of God, I have also been decorated with over 200 national/international awards including variously Nigeria’s Man of the Year, Nigeria’s third highest national honour (CFR), global and African best governor of central bank, one of most influential Africans; etc. Currently, I serve as a member of Presidential Economic Advisory Council.


9. At this stage, I believe it is time to serve my people. As a poor village boy who has been especially blessed by God (Charlie nwa Mgbafor), I desire to give back to society through selfless public service. If you employ me as your Chief Servant come November, I hope to deploy all the global and national experiences and networks as well as local knowledge/experience as a village boy to make you proud . This is even more so at this peculiar moment in our history as Nigeria grapples with transition to post oil and post covid world as well as insecurity, and ethno-religious agitations. I am a Pan-Africanist, and hope to work with leaders in the South East and Nigeria to create that next Nigeria that will be the pride of the black race.


10. Let me at this moment wish other political parties success in their primaries and look forward to professional and issue-based campaigns. Opinion polls also show that majority of other party members say they will support Soludo if APGA nominates him. To them I say, here I am, APGA has nominated Soludo! We can understand the desperation of some opposition elements who believe that the only way to stop Soludo from winning is to stop him from being a candidate. Now that I am eventually a candidate, let’s now allow the people to choose in a free and fair election.


11. To our hundreds of thousands of supporters, the real work begins soon. Yes, APGA is our own, and Anambra is APGA, kpomkwem! At the last elections, APGA won 21 out of 21 local governments and 80% of State Assembly seats. But we won’t take any vote for granted: we will work hard to earn every vote. We will triple our efforts and campaign everywhere and reach everyone. Our target is not only 21/21 LGAs, but 326 out of 326 wards and breaking the one million votes mark in a free, fair, and transparent election.


12. Once again, thanks for this overwhelming mandate. The battle belongs to God, and who can battle with the
