The candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has said that the state loses N19.6billion every day there is lock down.
Soludo stated this at an enlarged meeting with Anambra State Elders and Stakeholders Forum, and Forum of Heads of Broadcast Media Stations in Anambra State, on Saturday.
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 N19.6Billion every time the sit-at-home directive is enforced in the state, by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
“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 Anambra citizens including the Anambra International airport, the International convention centre, Awka and the Awka stadium.”
He said the governor has done well despite overseeing two recessions and the state suffering dwindling federal allocations.
