Anambra Guber: Why I Cried In Public After Visiting LGA – Soludo

Soludo1

The Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, has vowed that if he is re-elected, he will ensure that everybody is carried along.

The governor, while speaking at the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship campaign rally in Anambra East on Wednesday, stressed that he would not leave anybody behind.

Soludo lamented that the bad roads and lack of social amenities in Enugu Ukwu and Aguleri made him cry in public.

He said, “The oldest man in Enugu Otu told me that they needed a tarred road. I was at Enugu Ukwu Aguleri. That’s the place that I cried. I cried there publicly and that’s because we drove to the place for almost one and half hours and this is the worst road that I have ever seen.

“I went on to ask a question, what if somebody was ill and had an emergency by 1:00 am? I asked if they had a hospital and they said no, I asked about pipe borne water, they said no, electricity they said no

“When I was going there the school children lined up along the road and they had cardboard papers listing out what they needed. Some of the schools didn’t have seats, chairs. Some said their roofs were leaking, some said they had no teachers, and all manner of things.

“But the last time I visited Enugu Ukwu and Aguleri, at the square I saw solar powered borehole scheme running there. I saw some power lines, I went there to commission a brand new general hospital with medical personnel and doctors.

“When I was going there the school children lined up but were no longer displaying those list of problems, they were now along the road dancing and saying welcome.

“The first time I went I cried but the second time I went I laughed. I used this as an illustration because of the terrain there, to do roads there is very expensive. You can’t go to a people and say there is no hope, ours is to give hope.”
