“We fought tooth and nail for Soludo’s emergence as governor. We came to Anambra State when even the most ardent supporter of Soludo ran away because of insecurity and all that.
“We put in our money. Soludo never spent one kobo to become governor. We deemed him fit to be good for the state but all of a sudden, we have become strangers and tenants in our own land. ”
Okonkwo, who is a business mogul, said that the March 18th House of Assembly elections was not about Peter Obi anymore but more of the perception of who the governor really is. He said there was a need for the government in power to reach out to the people and also reorientate their policies to be people-based.
According to him, people can not be suffering from hunger and abject poverty, yet the government is building roads; that dead people won’t ride on the roads.
He, therefore, stressed the urgent need for government’s policies and programmes to be people-centered, and not mere philosophical thinking.
Okonkwo equally stated that it is of paramount importance to choose good people to run the House of Assembly of Anambra State and not what he described as rubber stamps.JAMB Result
