In a significant move to promote unity and preserve history, Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has restored the name of Abakaliki Street in Awka, which was previously renamed “Club Road” in 2018 under the administration of former Governor Willie Obiano.

According to the governor’s media aide, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, who disclosed this in a statement in Awka on Tuesday, the street holds sentimental value for Pa Peter Uzodimma, who cleared and graded it in 1975 and officially registered it with the authorities. Uzodimma’s efforts symbolize the strong bond between the people of Anambra and Ebonyi states.

The renaming of Abakaliki Street to Club Road had sparked controversy, with many urging Governor Soludo to reverse the decision, citing the importance of unity and reciprocity between Anambra and Ebonyi states.

Governor Soludo’s decision to restore the original name of Abakaliki Street demonstrates his commitment to preserving historical legacies and promoting peaceful coexistence.

The move is widely seen as a gesture of goodwill, acknowledging the long-standing relationship between the two states.

The restoration has been welcomed by many, who view it as a step towards strengthening ties between Anambra and Ebonyi. As Pa Uzodimma aptly put it, “Abakaliki Street is more than a name; it is my contribution to history.” Governor Soludo’s action underscores his dedication to honoring the history and cultural heritage of Anambra State, Opara stated.

One thing I like about this man called Soludo and his counterpart in Abia state, his Excellency, governor Alex Otti, is the made in Nigeria products that they patronise.

Soludo and Alex Otti uses Made in Nigeria cars by Innoson motors.

But tinubu is telling Nigerians to patronise Nigeria made goods but baba is using bullet proof escalade and all the cars in his convoy are Toyota products.

A good leader will lead by example
