An aspirant on the platform of Labour Party, Engr Barth Nwibe, has taken a swipe on Governor Soludo for his stance on Anambra Burial.
Chief Engr Bath Nwibe who bared his mind in an interview with Fides Newspapers berated the Governor of Anambra State for being blind to the potential expensive burial holds for the state.
He described the Governor as a leader who lacks empathy on the and noted that the failure of this administion may be largely connected to to this factor.
In the interview, Bath Nwibe said, “Soludo is a Professor – very good at coining high sounding rhetoric – like making Anambra a prosperous and livable homeland, Africa-Dubai-Taiwan…but scores zero on performance and delivery of the goods because of his abysmal failure on security, teamwork and empathy.
“During Okwadike’s burial ceremony at Igboukwu, the Governor was busy chastising the National Burial Committee for sharing printed brochures against the Anambra State Burial Law while kidnappers laid ambush in the very vicinity of the burial and picking mourners leaving the funeral with ease – a case of someone chasing a rat when his house is on fire!
“The whole of Anambra South is under siege and the Governor doesn’t seem to care. The Anambra flamboyant burial culture is part of Anambra DNA that helps to bring our people back home and impact on the local economy – musicians, hoteliers, gas and fuel stations, caterers and event planners and decorators… These are vital parts of the Anambra Economy that the Governor is killing with this needless busybody implementation of the Burial Law.
“When I become Governor, I will introduce a Bill to modify the current Burial Law. If you have the resources, you should lawfully organize any burial as you wish, provided you obtain the necessary permits. Our people are also over taxed. I will secure Anambra, provide 24/7 electricity to power industries and homes in Anambra. Security and Power will attract Anambra capital back home to create employment for our youths and generate a better tax revenue for our state. Anambra State is blessed with the highest number of billionaires yearning for the right environment to repatriate their wealth home. Creating the conducive atmosphere for this is my number one priority”.
