He said he decided not to make comments on governance of Anambra two years after the last election but had now decided to provide opposition in order to tell people of the state that they deserved more quality governance.

According to him, “I want to say that I am still Committed to serving Anambra.

“I am not impressed with Soludo’s two years in office.

“Anambra is a great state, so, for you to serve the state well, you must be courteous.
