PROUDIGBO:


I would have preferred a coordinated approach to development for the entire south-east, but this isn't possible given present day political and structural realities! If i had my way, we'd return back to the Eastern Region, with a central gov't coordinating things from Enugu, while the present state delineations can still be kept, but with the states having some kind of federal autonomy to run their own affairs.

With such a situation, any state that wants a airport can still build one, but in this case the central gov't in Enugu will link the entire region by rail and extend it to at least two seaports. A seaport could built at Obuaku (all we need do is widen and dredge the waterway leading up to the Atlantic); we could partner with Opobo to build one there (this will need a super rail-bridge to link Opobo with the mainland); another option is to link with ports in Akwa-Ibom or Calabar.

These ideas can only materialise with a centralised gov't for the entire south-eastern region. We saw this kind of rapid, well thought out and coordinated approach to development in the Eastern Region when all parts were touched in the regions development plan: from Nkalagu to Enugu to Owerri to Aba to Port Harcourt to Calabar....every part of the region was included and had a sense of belonging.

MXrep:

We already have a center operating from enugu (SE gov's forum) but it must remain weak and states should be allowed to develop at their pace. Example, umahi championed the course for enugu airport repair in his capacity as gov forum chairman but also pursuing his own state airport project

6-lanes Anambra international airport road under construction. The road is about 10km stretch to the airport. From the information available they have done earthworks and granite up to 8km, remaining 2km to reach the airport site before the actual asphalt starts. As at the time of getting the pictures, massive work that involves about 5 major contractors were at the airport precinct working to beat the commissioning date.

They should plant trees on both sides of the road to make the drive to and from the airport scenic and impressive for visitors, investors and tourists coming into the state. Also, world class route signage should be included in the construction.

There can never be central government again. Let every state continue to build what they believe can position their state better. Some states that felt cheated in that era like Ebonyi, etc, will never accept a return to that era. I support the present dispensation, every state should be it's own center and move at their own pace. Anyways, what are mine i even arguing when this is just a chit chat. In reality Nigeria is operating a federal system of government.

I STILL NEED SOLUDO MANIFESTO.

I NEED TO BE ON BOARD WITH THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION.


MY WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND IDEAS NEED TO BE HARVESTED.


EVEN IF IT IS CONSULTANCY THEY OFFER ME OR ADVISER.

kingzizzy:


I doubt if Soludo will run, and even if he does, I doubt if he will win the primaries of his party

WAT IS SOLUDO DOING IN APGA, IF HE WAS NOT GOING TO RUN.


SOLUDO SERVED IN OBIANO CABINET AND HAS PAID HIS DUES.


HE SHOULD WIN.

kingzizzy:


Other people have served APGA far longer than Soludo. I think that Soludo is well qualified to be Governor of Anambra, however, Anambra is no longer about having a big name become Governor. Peter Obi and Willie Obiano were not big names but they did well in Anambra

The problem with Soludo is that he is the type who is likely to decamp to APC after using the party to win elections in Anambra, just like Okorocha did in Imo state. Once a politician starts defecting even before winning elections, he is not likely to stop after winning elections

DO U KNOW THE CALIBER OF SOLUDO.

NDI ANAMBRA SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO GOD THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE LIKE HIM IN OUR STATE.


IF ANYBODY CAN FINISH UP WHERE OBIANO STOP, IT IS SOLUDO.

Obi assures support for construction of Nnewi Mall
7 years ago


CONSTRUCTION of the proposed shopping mall for Nnewi would commence in a few days time, Anambra State Governor Peter Obi has said.

Obi ,who spoke yesterday at the inspection of the ongoing Agulu Lake Hotel and Resort with two new bridges, said other malls at Awka and Nnewi were ongoing.


“The mall at Onitsha and Awka are ongoing. In a few days we shall start that of Nnewi. We had planned these things and have enough money set aside for them. We shall also start the three Arms Zone, for which we also have enough Money set aside,” Obi stressed.”

He further assured said the state government had enough money to complete all the projects being embarked upon by his administration across the state.

7 years later have Nnewi and Awka malls been completed? What happened to the money already set aside for their completion and why didn't Peter Obi complete them before handover? How will Nigeria develop with all these insincere claims from elected officials?

6 or 8 is ok. It is actually 6, not 8. Most Nigerian airports have just 4lanes access with exception of Abuja and Lagos that have 8 or 10.

Anambra is not interested in big names, they already have many of that. Anambra is interested in good governance and their is a chance that if Soludo becomes Governor, he will switch his attention to power at the centre by decamping to APC or PDP, thereby derailing everything just like Okorocha who ended messing Imo state up after starting well when he was in APGA

B2mario:


Guy, Okorocha did not mess any Imo state up, you people should stop spreading falsehood here.

I don't know why Anambra people criticize Rochas more than even Imo people themselves. Is there any political motivation behind it?

No matter the neglect and destruction of things in Imo state by the immediate past administrative, watch the below videos and see the hand of Rochas. Had it been that Rochas ruled Anambra state, today he will be seen and praised like god. Criticize Obiano to speed up his works and clean up Anambra instead of you criticizing other states that are better.

I still don't know why a useless dirty Aba miscreant like you from a dead state like Abia state.

Abia state is the dirtiest state in Nigeria but you are never worried.

Abia state has the worst roads in Nigeria but you go about pretending that all is ok.

Abia state despite her huge debt is owing workers several months salaries but you are not disturbed.

Abia state is the black ship of Nigeria but it is not an issue to you. As much as messed Imo state is, it is still far better than your dead Abia state, not to even talk about a progressive state as Anambra.

Everywhere in Aba is like sewage pit toilet, i still wonder why you go about from thread to thread to comment, leaving out your shit Abia state, which is by the way the worst state in Nigeria.
