The wife of Anambra State governor, Dr. Nonye Soludo, has come out in defense of her husband, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, against allegations of arrogance and being unwilling to listen to others.
In a recent interview, Dr. Soludo described her husband as a jovial and family-oriented man who values the opinions of others, contrary to the claims made by opposition politicians.
Dr. Soludo emphasized that her husband’s intense focus on work often leads people to misinterpret his personality. She recalled their time together at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where Soludo was a lecturer, and noted that students feared him due to his strict approach to academics. However, she revealed that behind his serious demeanor, he has a great sense of humor.
Dr. Soludo also reflected on the challenges their family faced during her husband’s tenure as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Despite receiving multiple threats that forced her to take their children abroad for safety, Soludo remained resolute, believing he was fighting for a just cause.
Dr. Soludo emphasized that her husband is committed to delivering good governance to the people of Anambra State. She noted that his focus on work should not be misinterpreted as arrogance, but rather as a testament to his dedication to the state’s development.
Dr. Soludo urged the people of Anambra to look beyond political propaganda and judge the governor by his actions and commitment to the state’s development. She emphasized that the negative portrayal of the governor is by political opponents who are deliberately spreading misinformation.
Since assuming office, Governor Soludo has implemented several initiatives aimed at promoting economic growth and development in Anambra State. Some of his notable achievements include:
– *Infrastructure Development:* Soludo has invested heavily in infrastructure development, including the construction of roads, bridges, and public buildings.
– *Economic Empowerment:* The governor has implemented several programs aimed at empowering entrepreneurs and small business owners, including the provision of loans and grants.
– *Education:* Soludo has prioritized education, investing in the renovation and construction of schools, as well as the provision of educational materials and resources.
The allegations of arrogance against Governor Soludo are unfounded and misinformed. As his wife, Dr. Nonye Soludo, has emphasized, he is a jovial and family-oriented man who values the opinions of others. His commitment to delivering good governance to the people of Anambra State is evident in his actions and initiatives. As the state prepares for the upcoming governorship election, it is essential to look beyond political propaganda and judge the governor by his achievements and commitment to the state’s development.
