By Izunna Okafor, Awka

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the November 6 Anambra State gubernatorial election, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has revealed that Anambra State loses an estimated sum of N19.6 billion each day that the Sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPoB) is enforced in the state.

Prof. Soludo, who is also a former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) made the revelation in meeting with Anambra State Elders and Stakeholders Forum, and Forum of Heads of Broadcast Media Stations in Anambra State; during which he also joined his voice to condemn the incessant bloodshed that has become the order of the day.

He called on the people spilling blood in the State to have a re-think as such actions do not define who Anambra people are.

“Anambra State economy loses an estimated sum of N19.6 billion every time the sit-at-home directive is enforced in the state.

“Such actions do not define who we are. That is why we are calling on those responsible to stop because we are hurting ourselves.”

Professor Soludo while calling on Ndi Anambra to be watchful, praised Governor Willie Obiano for what he called outstanding achievements.

“Governor Willie Obiano has delivered sustainable legacy projects to Ndi Anambra including the Anambra International Airport, the International Conference Centre, Awka, and the Awka City Stadium.”

He said the governor has done well despite overseeing two recessions and the state suffering dwindling federal allocations.
