The Young Progressives Party (YPP) governorship candidate in Anambra State, Sir Paul Chukwuma, has faulted the administration of Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, alleging that the state has failed to attract a single direct foreign investment in more than three years.
Chukwuma, who stated this while speaking in a television programme described the state as “totally broken,” citing worsening insecurity, economic stagnation, and a decline in the education sector despite being governed by a “professor of economics.
“In terms of security, Anambra is still unsafe. In terms of the economy, Anambra, in over three years, has failed to attract a single direct foreign investment.
“At this point, we are not even talking about local investors because there is nothing on the ground to encourage investment in the state”, Chukwuma said.
The YPP flag bearer also criticised the government’s handling of education, claiming that the state lacks basic facilities such as teachers’ quarters in rural communities and has witnessed a sharp decline in research and educational quality.
“No teachers’ living quarters exist in any community in Anambra State today. No serious research is ongoing to proffer workable solutions.
“Yet, this is a government led by a scholar”, he said, describing the Soludo administration as a “merchant of rhetoric and a champion in telling cheap lies.”
Chukwuma pledged that, if elected in the November 8 governorship election, his administration would usher in a new era of industrialization anchored on stable power supply, investor-friendly policies, and robust infrastructural development.
“With the mandate of Ndi Anambra on November 8, we shall fix this state. We shall ensure that Anambra is plugged into a new era of industrialization, anchored on stable power supply, favourable policies, and a seaport around Oseakwa, among other solid and soft infrastructures”, Chukwuma said.
He asserted that Anambra deserves better leadership, promising that the YPP would replace “talk without results” with practical, result-driven governance.
“Anambra deserves better”, he maintained.
