Governor Soludo and Ex-Minister Chidoka exchanging pleasantries in file photo
Former Minister of Aviation and prominent public policy advocate, and Vice Chairman of the Anambra State Educational Council, Chief Osita Chidoka, has formally endorsed the re-election bid of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, calling him “Od??k? na Mba”, “the rare one, not easily found.”
Speaking at the Anambra Central Senatorial Zone endorsement event on Saturday, Chidoka praised Governor Soludo’s transformational leadership, prudent financial management, and vision for the future of Anambra State.
“In 2025, the question is no longer ‘Is it broken?’” Chidoka said. “The real question is: why drop the spoon when the soup is tasty? Ndi Anambra, the pot is still on the fire. The aroma of progress is in the air.”
He hailed Soludo’s achievements in urban renewal, digital governance, education reform, and infrastructure, calling for continuity to sustain the gains of the past three years.
“Soludo is the only son of Anambra who has kept money for the whole of Nigeria and today, he is keeping Anambra’s money with care, vision, and discipline.”
Quoting an Igbo proverb “Ula t?ba uto, ekwobeya ekwobe”, Chidoka likened Soludo’s governance to sweet sleep: “When sleep is sweet, you don’t wake up; you roll over and enjoy it again.”
“Let’s not break the rhythm. Let the Solution continue. Let Od??k? finish the course.”
