Former Anambra State Governor and immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has congratulated Governor Charles Soludo on what he described as a well-deserved victory in the just-concluded gubernatorial election in the State.
Ngige commended Soludo’s first term in office, describing it as “excellent” in the management and prudent use of Anambra State’s fiscal resources. He noted that the Governor has “cut the coat of Anambra according to its cloth,” emphasizing his effective financial discipline.
“I wish to congratulate Governor Charles Soludo on his well-deserved victory at the just-concluded gubernatorial election in Anambra State. His re-election is a clear testimony of his good governance and prudent fiscal management of the State’s resources,” Ngige stated.
He drew parallels between Soludo’s administration and his own tenure as Governor, praising Soludo for avoiding unnecessary borrowing while executing major projects.
“When I was Governor, I also succeeded because I avoided borrowing. I paid off debts inherited from the administration before me. Soludo has followed a similar path while also embarking on several gargantuan projects both completed and ongoing,” Ngige added.
The former Minister urged Governor Soludo to remain focused and not to derail, as some Governors tend to do after securing a second term.
“It is my prayer that Governor Charles Soludo continues on this right path and does not derail like some Governors who, after securing a second term, lose focus.
“History will always be the ultimate judge of a man’s leadership. If he is kind to history, history will be kind to him just as it has been today, as the people of Anambra have re-elected him,” Ngige concluded.
