General Overseer of Soul Revival Outreach, Nnewi, Anambra State, Prophet Iyke Uzukwu has criticized Governor Charles Soludo administration’s recent invitation to President Bola Tinubu to the State to commission projects which the Prophet described as of no vital importance to Anamabra people.
The Anambra Prophet who spoke to journalists in Nnewi Sunday said the invitation is under heavy criticism.
According to the Prophet, for the Governor to have invited Mr President to commission Governor’s Lodge and Fun City he built when another governorship election is barely six months away is frivolous.
He noted that it amounted to embarrassment to Ndị Anambra when the President would have been in the State to commission more serious projects.
“I remember very well in 2012 when former President Goodluck Jonathan was invited to Anamabra to come and commission Orient Petroleum, Orange Drugs, Onitsha Inland Port, and some other projects.
“Our Governor told Mr President that Anambra is the safest State in Nigeria. Please ask our Governor if anybody can safely drive down to some areas at Osumoghu in Ihiala local government area, some areas at Ukpor in Nnewi South and come back alive.
“Other Governors invite the President to commission factories, road networks, hospitals, estates, among other things. To invite a President to commission Governor’s Lodge at the expense of taxpayers’ money is ridiculous.
“The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) members in Anambra misinterpreted Mr President’s body language during his visit. President Tinubu is a respected politician who is highly intelligent.
“How do you think it’s possible for the President to abandon his party and its candidate to rally support for another candidate from another political party to win the governorship election. It’s not possible. It’s a simple logic.
“Ndị Anambra are watching to see the miracle the Governor will perform in just six months before the election to make the State Dubai of Africa which was part of his electioneering promises.
“Anambra people are not expecting Dubai any longer; let him make the State to look like Abia or Ebonyi State.
“I think our Governor should take time to understudy Governor Alex Otti of Abia State or former Governor of Ebonyi State and current Minister for Works, Engr David Umahi for a better governance, “Prophet Uzukwu concluded.
