    The increasing actions by opposition elements in Anambra State,characterised by unscrupulous political desperation and the deployment of toxic propaganda via sponsored false narratives, fake news and staged videos, are patently subversive and worthy of unequivocal condemnation.

    These tactics, aimed solely at scoring cheap political points against the incumbent government, only undermine the integrity of our democratic development and erode public order. Must the political desperados pull down the house on Ndi Anambra just to grab power? Are they really after selfless service to Anambra State or are they just seeking avenues of self-aggrandizement by all means foul?

    The latter seems to be their motive and it is getting clearer by the day with every campaign of calumny the political felons unleash in the public space. Ndi Anambra must wise up to the gutter antics of these cowardly politicians and say enough is enough. Such behaviour of stoking unjustified anti-government propaganda not only distorts the truth but also sows disorder within our society.

    It is imperative that all political actors engage in honest and constructive discourse, prioritising the well-being and unity of the state over personal or partisan gains.

     

    In the current dispensation of Anambra State, where the pursuit of progress and transformation is a shared aspiration of patriots, the relentless orchestrated attacks against Governor Charles Soludo are attaining reprehensible heights as well as despicable depths of political harassment which will no longer be tolerated.

    As the next gubernatorial election approaches, it is obvious that opposition politicians are envious of Governor Soludo’s impressive achievements, hence their resort to an
    onslaught of spurious write-ups and fabricated videos, seeking to mislead the public and tarnish the image of a man whose leadership has brought tangible benefits to the state.

    To be sure, Governor Soludo’s administration has been a beacon of transformative leadership, marked by innovative policies, infrastructural advancements, and a
    commitment to the welfare of the people. Under his stewardship, Anambra State has witnessed significant improvements in various sectors, from security, education and healthcare to infrastructure, economic development, and many more.

    His tenure is characterised by a clear vision for a prosperous Anambra, a vision that has translated into real, measurable progress

    Yet, in the face of these undeniable achievements, the opposition has chosen the path of deceit and manipulation. For instance, recently there have been baseless allegations circulating online, accusing Governor Soludo of establishing “secret
    detention camps” where public offenders are allegedly tortured, and their fundamental rights are purportedly violated. This egregious lie is not only a smear against Governor Soludo’s integrity but also an insult to the intelligence of the people of Anambra State.

    Let it be unequivocally stated: Governor Soludo has never, and will never, engage in such reprehensible practices. The very notion of secret detention camps and torture is anathema to the principles of democracy, justice, and human rights that Governor Soludo upholds.

    His administration operates with the highest regard for the rule of law, ensuring that all actions are transparent, accountable, and within the bounds of legality and human dignity. The proliferation of these fabrications is a calculated attempt by the opposition to distract from their lack of substantive policy proposals add achievements. Unable to match Governor Soludo’s record, they resort to creating and spreading malicious content in a bid to sway public opinion through scaremongering and misinformation. This tactic not only undermines the democratic process but also disrespects the collective intelligence and discernment of Anambra’s citizens.

    Moreover, these attacks are becoming more desperate and frequent as the election draws nearer, a clear indication of the opposition’s recognition of Governor Soludo’s widespread support and success.

    The dissemination of fake news, toxic propaganda, and staged videos is a strategy borne out of desperation, reflecting the opposition’s moral bankruptcy and disregard for civilised political engagement.

    The people of Anambra State must remain vigilant and discerning in the face of these unscrupulous tactics. It is imperative to scrutinise the sources and motives behind the information that circulates online. The faceless and nameless nature of these allegations, often signed by nebulous “Concerned” persons, should raise immediate red flags about their credibility. An informed electorate is the bedrock of a thriving democracy, and it is through informed decision-making that Anambra will continue on its path of progress under Governor Soludo’s leadership.

    Today, Governor Soludo’s administration is a demonstration of what can be achieved when visionary leadership meets a committed citizenry. The relentless campaign of vilification against him is a futile attempt to derail the state’s progress. The people of Anambra must stand firm, reject these baseless attacks, and continue to support a leadership that has consistently demonstrated its dedication to their welfare and development. In unity and with a clear vision for the future, Anambra State will rise above the machinations of desperate politicians and continue to flourish.

    Ochanja Water Fountain: How Sponsors Of Water Fountain “Skit” Fooled  Themselves “

    “The Ochanja Roundabout fountain remains one of good examples of what can be achieved when vision and determination converge for transformation.”

     

    By Christian ABURIME

    A cherished oasis amidst the urban hustle and bustle of Onitsha, the clear, fresh flowing waters of the Ochanja Roundabout fountain made a refreshing spectacle symbolically reflecting Anambra State’s renaissance under Governor Charles Soludo’s leadership. Yet, like a discordant note in a symphony, mischief-makers
    have sought to tarnish this landmark through deceit and vandalism in order to orchestrate a scandal.

    This has been the pattern of desperate opposition elements seeking to rubbish the work of the government for self-seeking ends.

    Before the Soludo administration came to office, the Ochanja Roundabout had an unenviable history preceding its transformation. It was once a putrid mountain of refuse and animal carcasses which repelled residents and commuters alike, just as it stalled vehicular traffic and economic activity.

    For over two decades, the
    roundabout had been an eyesore upon Onitsha, a source of disgust and discontent. But Governor Soludo came and turned the eyesore into a point of pride, a symbol of the state’s commitment to environmental health, traffic flow, economic vitality,
    and aesthetic excellence.

    Regrettably, an arranged video started circulating online on Monday, painting a different spectacle of the fountain, one orchestrated by those who don’t like to see good things happen in Anambra. The sight of a water vendor pouring jerry cans of water into the dry fountain base is not a consequence of shoddy construction or lack of maintenance by the government, but rather the handiwork of vandals
    sponsored by political desperados.

    This staged spectacle aims to discredit the Soludo government’s achievements and sow seeds of doubt amongst the populace. But while mischief-makers can fool some people sometimes, they cannot fool everyone all the time. Let it be known that no agency of the Anambra State government engaged the services of the water vendor seen in the video.

    It was all staged by naysayers. How reasonable is it that a government would even hire a water vendor to refill the fountain in broad daylight and have it captured on video? Obviously, the sponsors of the water fountain ‘skit’ fooled themselves

    Meanwhile, it has also been discovered that the non-functional state of the fountain is the direct result of sabotage by willful vandalism, a deplorable act perpetrated by those who would rather see Anambra mired in the past than embracing progress and a brighter future. But the saboteurs will continue to fail in their anti-progress
    antics.

    While the functionality of the fountain may have been temporarily tampered with, the spirit that drove this transformation remains unbroken. The fountain will be fixed, and Governor Soludo’s tireless dedication to transforming every corner of the state shall not be deterred by such petty machinations.

    The mischief-makers
    would do well to abandon their campaign of calumny and instead channel their energies towards more constructive endeavours.

    For Ndi Anambra, eternal vigilance is the price to pay for sustainable progress.
    The people, not the government alone, have to take responsible ownership and protection of the various public projects being constructed with taxpayers’ money.

    The Ochanja Roundabout fountain remains one of good examples of what can be achieved when vision and determination converge for transformation. The waters of the fountain may have been momentarily stilled, but the currents of progress in Anambra State shall continue to flow, carrying the state towards ever greater heights of prosperity and beauty.

    Gov Soludo Commission 25km Amansea-Ebenebe-Ugbenu- Ofemili Road ln Akwa North

    By Christian Aburime

    The Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, has officially commissioned for public use, the 26 Kilometer Amansea-Ebenebe-Ugbenu- Ugbene-Awba Ofemili road in Awka North Local Government Area.

    In a frenzy of excitement for the people of Awka North, chants of joy pervaded the air as they witnessed the inauguration of the road by Governor Soludo in company of his Deputy, Dr Onyekachukwu Ibezim as both made a stop at each of the communities.

    Addressing the people, Governor Soludo recalled with nostalgia the historical significance of the long stretch road as one of the food baskets of the state, saying it would stimulate the economy and improve the life of the people in the area.

    The Governor observed that it used to take hours to travel from Amansea to Awba Ofemmili, but can now be achieved in 20 minutes, with the completion of the road, an achievement that would remain ever green in his heart.

    Governor Soludo said the completion of the road was in fulfillment of his campaign promise over the deplorable condition of roads in the state which prompted him to declare a state of emergency on roads immediately he assumed office.

    He stressed that the plight of the people of the communities in Awka North local government area was one of the reasons he contested for the 2022 gubernatorial election, assuring that his administration remains largely committed to the wellbeing of the poor and down-trodden.

    The Commissioner for Works, Mr. Ifeanyi Okoma, thanked the Governor for the fulfilment of his campaign promises, saying that the road was constructed according to specification with stone base, cement stabilization, quality asphalting and completed in record time.

    In the same vein,the Commissioner for Homeland Affairs, Mr Chikodili Anara who hails from the area, expressed happiness over the road which he said had paved the way for customers to patronize their farm produce; a feat they will be eternally grateful to the Governor for.

    Earlier in a remark, the Transition Committee Chairman for Awka North Local Government Area, Mr Thankgod Anagor thanked the Governor for fulfilling his campaign promise to the people and pledged his people’s continued support for Governor Soludo’s administration.

    Mr Anagor added that completion of the road has aided the smooth evacuation of agricultural produce by members of the communities, as well as attracted the influx of people from neighbouring communities to patronize them.

    Highpoint of the event was the significant cutting of tape by the representatives of commercial tricycle (keke) riders and shuttle bus drivers, as well as the elderly assisted by some clergymen.

    Those who attended the ceremony include the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Solo Chukwulobelu, Chief of Staff to the Governor, Mr Ernest Ezeajughi, Principal Secretary to the Governor, Barr. Joachin Anaeto, Chief of Protocol, Hon Chinedu Nwoye, President General of Anambra State Association of Town Unions, Barr. Titus Akpudo, Traditional Rulers, among others.
