Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The governorship candidate of the Young Progressives Party, YPP, in the Anambra governorship election, Mr Paul Chukwuma, has hit back at Governor Chukwuma Soludo, urging him to join market women if he desires to gossip.<\/p>\n

Soludo had visited Chukwuma\u2019s community, Umueri, at the weekend and told his people that the YPP candidate was not in the governorship contest but merely seeking popularity.<\/p>\n

The governor threw a light-hearted banter at Chukwuma, saying he used to be his friend and that it was during one of his visits to him that he saw the governor\u2019s seat, admired it, and decided to contest for the governorship of Anambra State.<\/p>\n

But in his response, Chukwuma urged Soludo to join market women if his desire as governor was to gossip.<\/p>\n

Chukwuma said: \u201cIf Soludo enjoys trading insults, he should go to the market where women sell pepper and ogiri to perfect the act.\u201d<\/p>\n

The YPP candidate insisted that he is serious about his contest and focused on issues that can help grow Anambra, not gossip.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here in Anambra and do not have electricity power. Power is no longer in the exclusive list, but has been put in the concurrent list, where both the state and federal government can legislate on it. So, what is stoping Soludo from giving us steady power?<\/p>\n

\u201cI have visited Prof Bart Nnaji\u2019s Geometric Power in Aba. I have asked questions, I have also been in China. Within three months I will give Anambra people steady power,\u201d Chukwuma said.<\/p>\n
