From his rustic village of Isuofia in Aguata LGA of Anambra state, he rose and flew across the world to live his dreams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith these, Ndi Igbo and the whole of Nigeria see him as one of the great Igbo leaders with dignity and respect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut just like the story of the crumbling packs, Professor Soludo has started somersaulting from his pinnacle of dignity and respect, falling short of the expectations of the people who looked up to him to be a shining example of the new Igbo leader.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoludo, an astute professor of high repute, allowed his narrow-minded nature to betray him,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Okeke added that \u201chate is a wicked state of mind that when possessed can becloud one\u2019s normal sense of reasoning. And this is exactly what played out in Prof. Soludo\u2019s unreasonable outburst on Peter Obi\u2019s Anambra government investment in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoludo through his hate for Peter Obi was quick to forget that the investment and the fiscal savings came together. The incontrovertible fact remains that Obi saved for the future of his state (Anambra) N75b naira, $50m in each of the three existing commercial banks of today, and 3.5b in the International Brewery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe handed over this investment to a new manager (governor), who has never denied knowledge of the investments. Whether the manager (governor) took good care of the investment is another day\u2019s discussion. And the former handed over to Soludo, now Soludo casting aspersions on Mr. Obi after 9 years he left office with verifiable savings and investment is uncalled for and condemnable by the entire Igbo race and Nigeria at large.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe international brewery as we know it today employing 10,000 Anambrarians is not a bad investment and the depreciation of stocks is a Nigerian issue that have affected every company\u2019s stock<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoludo should have employed the wisdom of silence even if he so much hated Mr. Obi, but for the sake of the Nigerian project stand with the mass of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He advised the Governor to watch it going forward and avoid creating serious embarrassment for himself and governance, considering that he also needs the support of the people to achieve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
