Image

Fall of Soludo's Anambra: A Descent into Uncertain future

Image
  By Chikaodi Chukwuleta  Sept 21,2025 In a shocking turn of events, Anambra State, once hailed as the 'Light of the Nation' has plummeted down to 34th position out of the 36 states in Nigeria in the 2025 PCL State Performance Index (PSPl), ranking released by Philips Consulting.  The very respected international Consulting Group claims that Anambra State which ranked 8th in 2024, has shockingly fallen from 8th to 24th position. This unbelievable turn of events marks a profound crisis in government and development under the current administration led by Prof Chukwuma Soludo. The PSPl report paints a troubling picture of Anambra's struggle across critical sectors, in governance and service delivery. Persistent gaps highlight a disconnect between the government's promises and tangible outcomes for citizens.  The group emphasised on poor ranking in education; that schools suffer from poor infrastructure, failure to impact learning quality and young people's fut...

SOLUDO AND THE ANAMBRA VISION 2070 FRAUD.

Image
  In 2020, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo chaired a committee tagged the Anambra Vision 2070, stating that the Vision was a strategic plan that *would* effectively change Anambra into a model state "beaming with opportunities for all".  *Unfortunately, that* so-called Anambra Vision 2070 Plan, from the benefit of hindsight, was simply a fraud designed to deceive Ndi Anambra, expend our scarce resources, and position the Professor of Economics as the messiah that will lead Anambra to a *phantom* El-dorado. In 2022, shortly after Soludo emerged as the Governor-elect he presented a 180-page report of the committee to his Predecessor, Chief Willie Obiano, and on March 17th of the same year, Prof Soludo was inaugurated as the 6th democratically elected Governor of the state. In his 4000-word Inaugural speech Soludo stated, *inter alia* "Our contract with Anambra people derives from three seminal documents: (a) “Anambra Vision 2070—a 50-Year Development Plan” which I chaire...

SOFIG Frowns at export of gun politics to Abuja by Soludo's men

Image
 From Janet Maduka, Abuja  Sept 15,2025 Last night's spirited efforts to apparently assassinate the favorite Anambra State Guber candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu in Abuja, the nation's capital city of all places has really thrown the world's undue attention to the Prof Charles Soludo -led Anambra State. The situation, according to a non-governmental organization, the Sustenance of Faith in Good Governance (SOFIG) has left a sour taste in the mouths of all men of goodwill globally. Asking why gun violence, bitter thuggery, kidnap and bloodshed have suddenly become the State's new normal for the first time in history, the Director of Strategy and Mobilization of SOFIG, Dr Janet Maduka imagined how Gov Soludo sleeps every night with the situation of things under his supervision. These suspected Soludo's hunchos and gunmen had evidently assumed that they were above the law and therefore run the streets of Anambra and now exte...

Reclaiming the Uzo-Uwani Farm Settlements for Sustainable Food Security in Enugu State and Beyond

Image
By  Martins Chiedozie Ugwu Johnmartinsworldonline@gmail.com  The Uzo-Uwani farm settlements, for more than a century, have been the backbone of agricultural sustainability and economic stability in Enugu State, particularly for the people of Enugu North. These settlements, numbering in hundreds across a vast expanse of land that extends into Kogi State, have not only fed and sustained local communities but have also contributed significantly to the regional economy. The Opanda Market, a century-old, once-bubbling hub for agricultural produce and processing, has been a vital component of this ecosystem, attracting traders from far and wide. The periodic market, which comes every two days, is home to tens of thousands of Igbos across the five states in the Southeast and beyond. However, the current state of insecurity in Uzo-Uwani, precipitated by the presence of criminal herdsmen, has led to a mass exodus of farmers, resulting in the closure of the once-thriving Opanda Market. ...

Ogidi mass killings: One killing too many !

Image
  The people of Anambra State have risen up in unison to denounce our professor of mass killings and mass burial. We are shocked to our marrows to acknowledge that barely twenty -four hours after Tuesday, Sept 9,2025 mass killings as a result of agents of Gov Chukwuma Soludo 's irresponsible trigger-happy rag-tag army shooting at the thickly populated Onitsha Main Market , another similar mass killings occured at a burial in Ogidi, Idemili North headquarters of the state. This is one killing too many, and we speak on behalf of the people to denounce the State Government's mounting security incompetence. Surely this is not our culture or anything way of life.  On behalf of our people we can say that the land, the spirits and the people have clearly rejected Chukwuma Soludo from superintending the State anymore. As the conscience of the people of the state now I, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu , the Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress ( APC ) am stepping forward...

Justice for Hon. Bright Ngene: NBA's Timely Intervention Brings Hope

Image
.. .from Dr John Nwokeabia In light of the recent developments regarding the case of Honorable Bright Ngene, the declared winner of the Enugu South State Assembly election under the Labour Party, it is a moment of renewed hope for democracy and the rule of law. The recent intervention of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in this matter is a commendable and timely act. It demonstrates that the legal profession in Nigeria and indeed the Nigerian Bar Association under the leadership of Mazi Afam Osigwe is committed to its role as the guardian of justice and a defender of fundamental human rights. In collaboration with Hon Bright Ngene’s lawyers, I understand that steps are being taken to approach the registrar of  the new court assigned the matter  to obtain date and begin the judicial process for determination of Mr Bright’s Appeal. With this, the NBA has shown its concern for a fair and expedited legal process and I must thank the leadership of the NBA for this bold and necess...
