“His Excellency, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR
You claim the President is your friend. What has the President actually done for you?
- Has the Federal Government connected Onitsha, the largest open-air market cluster in sub-Saharan Africa, to the national rail network?
- Has the Federal Government linked Anambra to the Gas Master Plan?
- Has the Federal Government designated the Chinua Achebe Airport as an international airport? President Tinubu designated Muhammadu Buhari International Airport in Maiduguri as an international airport—likewise, the Victor Attah International Airport in Uyo.
- Has the Federal Government allocated strategic funds for expanding the Onitsha River port? Or for dredging the River Niger?
- What international brands have you attracted to Anambra with support from the Federal Government? No global manufacturer, auto OEM, pharma MNC, FMCG giant, or even a brewery has established a confirmed greenfield plant during your tenure.
- How much FDI have you attracted to Anambra? From mid-2023 to date, Abia ranks among the top three Nigerian destinations for recorded capital importation with $150m, while Anambra remains at zero.
Sir, there is no harm in supporting President Tinubu, but Tinubu is leveraging his relationship, and you have gained nothing from the Federal Government apart from a visit by the First Lady.
You mocked an international FDI in Anambra undertaken by your predecessor, but after five years, you have attracted no FDI based on official figures you can verify.
After all the noise dies down and you no longer have a state-funded media team, this is how you will be judged.
After politics, there is life.
Kaa sir
