In-between the lines of those so-called praises are nothing but a diplomatic way of expressing disappointment, especially as the governor\u2019s newly constructed roads are already washing away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat he saw in Anambra is not impressive but underwhelming. His remarks were not a validation of success, but a subtle reminder that Anambra is not where it should be. It is amusing that Soludo and his cohorts are yet to get to read the handwriting on the wall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The party also added that such words by Umahi, even though they were not meant to be true racked of lack of discretion by the minister who knows that he works for an APC government, and that his party is in the race for a governorship election with the same man he is praising.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMinister Dave Umahi\u2019s unguided utterances were in support of his business ally, Prof. Soludo. Umahi and Soludo have a joint interest in most of the federal road construction in Anambra.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut unfortunately for Soludo, the days of empty promises are over as Anambra can not reinforce failure by renewing unfulfilled contracts through another tenure in office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oliobi listed some of the areas where Soludo has failed, saying the state will vote him out in November. The areas listed include: shoddy road contracts, poor economy, failed security and many others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
