Ike Ekweremadu, a former Deputy President of the Senate has congratulated Professor Chukwuma Soludo, the new governor of Anambra State.
The Senator in a statement titled “CONGRATULATIONS, PROF CHARLES SOLUDO AND NDI ANAMBRA” said that his tenure will be good news for South East economy.
“I congratulate my brother, H.E Prof. Charles Soludo, on his inauguration as the Governor of Anambra State. This counts as a rendezvous with destiny for him, no doubt, for I am not unaware of the numerous life-threatening challenges and legal huddles he scaled in this journey. But his swearing-in today is another evidence that indeed power belongs to God .
“Importantly also, his inauguration as governor counts as a political landmark for not only Ndi Anambra, but also Ndigbo in this very challenging season, but also for a nation in search of respite and development.
“Soludo’s tenure, I believe, is good news for South East regional economic and infrastructural integration, especially at a time hopes are high that the perennial efforts of the National Assembly at a constitutional amendment to devolve power, aviation, and railway, among others, to the concurrent list will come to fruition.
“In congratulating him, I also pledge my total support to him in any way I can in the realisation of his agenda for Ndi Anambra, and look forward to teaming up with him and other governors and leaders of the South East in finding an elevated approach to South East regional security, peace, economic and infrastructural integration and all round development if elected the next governor of Enugu State.
“Once again, I wish him and his deputy, Dr. Onyekachi Ibezim, a roundly successful and memorable tenure in office”.
