The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in the November 6 poll in Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has unveiled his manifesto.

The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, who presented his manifesto at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, the state capital, on Saturday, said no candidate in the race was his match.

He also stated that his target was to meet the one million votes mark in the election.

He said, “This manifesto is one that envisions Anambra as a five-star destination to live, work and relax in. We want Anambra to be livable. My manifesto with ndi Anambra is my contract with them.

“I’m not going to learn on the job. I will hit the ground running. We will build a land where no child born here will go out to look for a better future in Lagos or Abuja.

“After this speech, my manifesto will be shared and uploaded online, and this is my contract with you. I have looked at the people contesting, and with every sense of humility, I don’t think they can match me.

“They can be governor because they are qualified and the constitution says if you have a school certificate, you can be governor. But for those who forged their certificates, I do not think they can be governor.”

The state Governor, Willie Obiano, said Anambra people had two choices to make in the upcoming election: “to continue in the progress we are making or to go back to Egypt.”

He added, “We have fake certificate holders, and debtors, who are running for governor, but they can’t govern. You all must vote for qualified fellows like Soludo. He has the reach, contacts and cerebral ability to lead Anambra. He knows where to find the money, much more than I do. I have no doubt that we will win with a landslide. We have no competition.”
