Obi’s investments in Anambra state are worth next to nothing – Soludo

Governor of Anambra state, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has expressed that the alleged investment of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, in the state government is worth next to nothing.

He said this on Thursday during an interview with Channels TV’s Politics Today when being asked about the investment of government outside the public sector with reference to Obi as a former governor.

He said, “I don’t know about the investment. Our interview is about the 2023 budget. I’m not talking about the 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.

“We are handing out employment letters to more than 5, 000 teachers to end an era of schools without teachers. We are going to have over 240 doctors and consultants to man our general hospitals, so if you look at the five fingers approach of our programmes, we designed our budget to keep our eyes on the ball,” he added
