Former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has said Anambra state governor, Willie Obiano has achieved a lot in the state.
He said this while delivering at a lecture to mark the third anniversary of Governor Willie Obiano’s administration in Awka on Friday.
He likened him to a general who must not be replaced during wartime.
He commended Obiano over his achievements in the area of economy within three years in office.
He promised not to contest the Nov. 18 gubernatorial election.
“There is no need for change at the moment.
“Anambra is the fourth largest economy in Nigeria behind Lagos, Abuja and Rivers.
“The private sector must play a role to shore up the country’s earnings.
“We are in a crisis moment and you don’t change a general in the middle of the war; in Anambra, Obiano is a general.
“Many people are calling on me to come and contest, but the point is: if Anambra is not broken, why mend it?
“There will only be vacancy in Anambra Government House in the next four years,’’ he said.
He urged Obiano to plead with the Federal Government to execute the second Niger Bridge and federal highways projects in the state.
