The Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to Gov Soludo on Political Matters, Hon Engr Ezekiel Nwokoye has said that the Anambra State governor, Prof Charles Soludo is not a regular politician but a generational gift to Ndi-Anambra.

Hon Nwokoye made this declaration during an interactive session with journalists in Awka.

He particularly applauded Gov Soludo for opening up many rural communities in the state through road construction.

Hon Nwokoye said that the governor has brought his Professor in Economics to physical manifestation in governance as demonstrated through the construction and completion Urum-Amansea-Ufuma road.

He noted that the completion of many roads in the state’s agrarian communities has opened up the areas as it is now easy for people to transport their farm produce from the farm to the urban centers.

“Anambra West LGA is a typical agrarian economy, no governor has ever visited has ever visited some communities in the council area but Gov Soludo did using boat, okada and keke to navigate his way.

“The Professor of Economics has always insisted that the LGA Secretariat, at Nzam must be operational, I can tell you authoritatively that the council chairman is now operating from Nzam.

“The recently constructed roads has made it possible for vehicles to run from Obaofemili-Amansea-Ufuma, the new development has totally positively transformed the economy of the benefitting communities as business is booming for the indegenes and investors all thanks to the Professor of Economics who by all standards is not a regular politician.

“Everything has appreciated in Obaofemili-Amansea-Ufuma axis, a plot of land that used to go for as low as two hundred thousand Naira in those areas has jumped to over a million Naira, this is because of the simple fact that now that the roads are opened up, development has started cropping up in those hitherto sleepy communities.

“Prof Charles Soludo is a generational gift to Anambra State and Ndi-Anambra, he is setting up a ten storey hotel in the state which certain armed chair critics are not favorably disposed to, but the truth is that in the Anambra Master Plan, a gigantic hotel facility is earmarked to be in that location.

“If the Professor of Economic is not adding value to the system, the federal government will not seek for his input by being appointed as high profile member of the nation’s Economic Team.

“Today, everybody is enjoying the Airport, International Conference Center (ICC) and other signature projects of the former governor after the projects had attracted huge criticism and condemnation from self styled critics.

“Apart from those legacy projects of the former governor, what is it that would brought people to Anambra State if not for those facilities, now that Gov Soludo is enhancing the capacity of the state, the usual shout of wolf where there is none has started again,” he said.

Hon Nwokoye appealed to Ndi-Anambra and residents alike to key into the vision and mandate of Prof Charles Soludo who is not a regular politician but a generational gift and genius.
