A stalwart of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) from Anambra North Senatorial Zone, Chief Primus Odili has dismissed reports alleging that Governor Chukwuma Soludo would slow his developmental strides after securing a second term.
Odili, on the contrary insisted that the Soludo-led administration is more committed than ever to making Anambra the most livable and preferred destination for investors. Speaking to reporters, Odili said Anambra is poised for an unprecedented phase of growth.
He stated that based on the government’s achievements in its first term and the projects launched just before re-election, the state will transform into a vast construction zone, birthing new mega-cities across every region. “I have no doubt that the next four years will be a period of consolidating the foundation laid in the first term. Governor Soludo leads with a clear vision and precise execution.
“If you study his administration, you will see a government that plans deeply and for the long term. The completed and ongoing projects are a testament to a determined effort to leave Anambra far better than it was found,” he stated. odili passionately illustrated this point: “Why shouldn’t Ekwulobia join the league of major cities? Why shouldn’t Nnobi be preparing for that status? What stops Agulu from joining?
“And Okpoko—yes, Okpoko—why shouldn’t it aspire to be a key urban center? I recently saw a sign that read, ‘Welcome to Mgbakwu City.’ This is now the new normal in Anambra State.
“Governor Soludo is done with the business of minting currency with the Central Bank, he is now minting emerging Cities, he is minting credible, sustainable cities towards the actualization of the dream Dubai/ Taiwan as the gateway hub for Anambra’s economic and industrial growth.” Beyond the urban transformation, Odili highlighted that completed projects have already enhanced the state’s economic and social connectivity.
He expressed confidence that by the time Soludo concludes his work, interconnectivity within Anambra will be unparalleled in the entire Southeast.
He also assured that communities previously untouched by development will feel the impact of the Soludo-led APGA government in this second term. Odili called for unity, urging all Anambra residents, including the opposition, to close ranks and offer the government the necessary support to build a truly livable and prosperous state. Looking ahead, Odili believes that APGA government under Soludo will position Anambra to compete favorably with major economic centers like Lagos.
He pointed to the Governor’s comprehensive approach, which has already addressed foundational issues like moral rejuvenation and sanitation while bringing development to every corner of the state. He concluded by urging Ndi Anambra to remain faithful to APGA and heed its directives in future elections, noting that the party has consistently proven its commitment to the state’s progress.
Odili cited the cumulative achievements of successive APGA governments as the bedrock of Anambra’s steady development and called on opposition parties to quickly join hands in supporting the governor’s mega-development drive.
