Be peoples’ governor, AMAGG urges Soludo

By Peter Ejiofor

An NGO, Anambra Masses for Good Governance (AMAGG), has urged the state’s governor-elect, Prof. Charles Soludo, to be the people’s governor by carrying “Ndi Anambra’’ along during his administration.

The President of AMAGG, Mr Ikechukwu Anyene, made the call on Sunday in Awka as the state prepares for Soludo’s inauguration on March 17, as the 6th elected governor of Anambra State.

“There is the need for the incoming governor to ensure good governance to give the people a sense of belonging.

“The people of Anambra voted massively for Prof. Soludo to emerge as governor. Therefore, it’s important that his administration fulfills its campaign promises.

“The people are expecting much from his administration, and we in AMAGG, urge the governor-elect to hit the ground running after his inauguration this week,’’ he said in a statement.

Anyene advised the governor-elect to strengthen the local vigilantes, work with law enforcement agents and other stakeholders to improve security in the state as no meaningful development could be achieved in a situation of lawlessness.

He called on the youth to eschew drug abuse, violence and other vices and key into Soludo’s apparent progressive agenda to better their lives.

Anyene also advised Ndi Anambra to come out with useful and constructive ideas and programmes that would assist Soludo’s administration to succeed.

He said such ideas would complement the government’s efforts in steering the affairs of the state.

“The leadership of the various communities in the state should come together and develop programmes aimed at improving the standard of living in their areas.

“We advise our communities to work out an agenda, send it to the state government for implementation. We believe that this move will assist the governor-elect to implement some of his administration’s objectives,’’ Anyene said.
