Soludo Unity and Human Development Advocacy (SUHDA) has congratulated the Anambra State Governor, Prof Charles Soludo on the successful and peaceful conduct of Local Government Area elections.
The congratulatory message was contained in a press release signed by the Director General (DG) of the group, Prince Victor Uba, Udeh-Ubaka.
SUHDA recalled with relish that Governor Soludo, during the electioneering campaigns promised to conduct the LGA polls which had eluded Anambra State for so many years.
“He made this unique promise to conduct the LGA polls long before the Supreme Court judgment that mandated all the States of the Federation to ensure a democratically elected Chairmen and Councillors at the Council Areas was adjudged.
“Anambra State can best be described as a case of OPPORTUNITIES MEETING WITH PREPAREDNESS.
“Today, Anambra State can stand tall in the comity of States that have successfully conducted the LGA polls and equally inaugurated the elected Chairmen and Councillors.
“The Anambra State House of Assembly has also signed into law the 2024 LGA bills which to all intents and purposes are meant to maintain equilibrium and stability in the running of our dear State and the Council Areas.
“The philosophy of Governor Soludo not leaving anyone behind as the Anambra State is moving toward Eldorado is worthy of commendation.
“SUHDA, as an Advocacy Group were on ground during the LGA elections and we wish to congratulate ndi Anambra and residents alike for their peaceful disposition before, during and after the so much expected election.
“It is indeed another giant step forward and we expect the persons who didn’t win this time around to embrace the spirit of sportsmanship and at the same time urge the victorious Chairmen and Councillors to be magnanimous in victory.
SUHDA noted that by doing the above, it would be a case of no winner, no loser and Anambra State will be the ultimate winner.
“We understand that some persons are not favourably disposed to the 2024 LGA bills passed by the Anambra State House of Assembly, in as much as it is the right of everyone to raise concern on issues not well understood. That is the beauty of democracy.
“SUHDA, however, is appealing to Ndi Anambra home and abroad to demonstrate maturity on the issue and continue to support the administration of Prof Soludo who is very passionate about moving Anambra to the next level.
“Gov Soludo has scored so many firsts as a Governor who has barely spent two years in office and we are fully persuaded that Prof Soludo will not be part of any arrangement that would be detrimental to the growth and development of Anambra State.
“We further, encourage Ndi Anambra who are members of the National Assembly to ensure that they work hand in gloves with Gov Soludo for the betterment of our beloved State,” Prince Udeh-Ubaka added.
