Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State, on Friday, disclosed one of the reasons why he contested for governor in 2022.
Soludo disclosed that the Okpoko area of Anambra State was part of the major reason he contested for governorship.
He disclosed this during the Ogbaru Constituency Campaign rally in Okpoko area of the state.
According to Soludo: “Okpoko is one of the major reasons why I contested to be governor of Anambra. From 2010 until 2022, I could not sleep well seeing the way Okpoko was.
“Seeing the way Okpoko was, the biggest urban slum in the Southeast, if not Nigeria with over half a million people.
“No water, no road, no street lights, nothing. I told you when I was campaigning that help was on the way.
“I promised Ndi-Anambra that either the day of my swearing in or the day after I will resume work at Okpoko.
“I was sworn in on the 17th and on the 18th I came here and we came to this venue and today over 20 kilometers of streets, roads have been done, street lights done, pipe borne water done, hospital for the first time now in Okpoko.
“Children are enjoying free education, that’s why we came. I love you more. I will come and take one room here.”
