Soludo caution Igbo Youths

Reacting through his press secretary, Christian Aburime, the governor advised the youths to have a rethink so as not to constitute themselves into being part of the problem to be solved in the society, but to be part of the solution, Vanguard reported.

Soludo wondered why the youths should allow themselves to be used as tools by some politicians or individuals who, according to him, have no good plans for them.

To him, the politicians’ aims are just to use the youths to achieve their mischievous objectives and dump them thereafter.

Peter Obi’s purported investments are worth next to nothing, Soludo declares

Soludo earlier said the investment of Peter Obi when he was the state's chief executive is worth next to nothing at the moment.

Soludo made the comment in an interview with Channels TV’s Politics Today on Thursday, November 10.

When asked his perspective on government investing outside the public sector with reference to Obi as former governor in Anambra, Soludo said:

“I don’t know about the investment. Our interview is about the 2023 budget. I’m not talking about investments of any of my predecessors.
“By the way the one that you talked about I don’t know about that. I think there was something I read about somebody speculating about whatever investment. With what I’ve seen today, the value of those investments is worth next to nothing. So, let’s leave that aside.”
