I haven’t received any salary as governor, my wife has no official car – Soludo

Governor Soludo speaking at the event to mark two years of his administration on Sunday, March 17, 2024.
The Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has disclosed that he has not taken any salary from the state since assuming office as governor two years ago.
He said that his wife does not have an official car as the first lady of Anambra State but still drives his car.
The governor said this during the celebration of the second anniversary of his administration at the International Convention Center, Awka, the state capital on Sunday.
Soludo said he is deliberately executing the most austere measure government ever by cutting costs and not borrowing for the last two years.
“Any governor that comes floods you with offers for borrowing and so on, but we decided for the first two years to demonstrate something, the capacity to do more with less.
“And so far as has been said, for two years, despite receiving about 25 per cent in real terms or in dollar terms of what was in the past, we have chosen deliberately not to borrow.
I have been aske severally; ‘how do you do without borrowing and with the difficult circumstances?’ And my answer is that we are doing so because we are executing the most austere measure of government ever.
“As I speak to you, I am not taking any salary, I am not paid any salary by Anambra State government. Even the First Lady of Anambra doesn’t have any official car, she still drives my vehicles,” Soludo said.
The governor said that his decision to cut waste and the cost of governance is to direct resources and prioritise them to things that are important to the people of the state.
He said his administration has prioritised areas that has been neglected in the past, building hospitals, roads schools and others in places that such amenities have never reached.
Soludo assured the people of Anambra that any kobo entrusted in his hand as the governor will be accounted for, saying that if he ever borrows, the people will be shown the projects the loan was used for and how those projects would repay the loan.
The celebration of the two years anniversary of Soludo’s administration was marked with the Pontifical Mass of Thanksgiving led by the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Nnewi, Most Rev. Jonas-Benson Okoye and the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Awka, Most Rev. Paulinus Ezeokafor.

“Nigeria Only Belongs To Hausa and Yoruba” – Fayose Declared; Netizens React

Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has sparked nationwide controversy after declaring that Nigeria belongs only to the Hausa and Yoruba ethnic groups.
In a viral video making the rounds on social media, Fayose dismissed the long-standing belief that Nigeria’s unity rests on a tripod of Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba.
He claimed that the Igbos have been marginalized and not counted among the country’s dominant groups.
He stated: “They said Nigeria belongs to Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba, but that’s a lie… take out that Igbo, stop including them because it’s a lie.”
The remarks have triggered widespread backlash, with many Nigerians accusing him of promoting ethnic hatred and fueling disunity.
Others, however, agreed with his statement, describing it as “an honest truth” about Nigeria’s politics.
Netizens Reactions…
@olaoluwasunnyman reacted: “Honest truth.”
@chefnoka said: “History will never forget you, brother. I’m not Igbo, but I love the way you speak and stand for the truth. We need it to move this nation forward.”
@newbilliy commented: “I’m Yoruba but an Igbo President will make Nigeria great. I love Igbo people and their business mindset.”
@beautyjunctiongh wrote: “God bless you, my brother, for saying the truth.”
@benedictoguama asked: “Where is Jonathan from?”
@daveiyke_donnegro stated: “@isaacfayoseoriginal_ God bless you Sir for speaking the truth. I wish other Nigerians can shun tribalism and unite for the progress of Nigeria. Tribalism us a tool against Nigerians and the unity of Nigeria. Politicians have weaponized tribalism which enables them thrive in continued political and socioeconomic incompetence.”
@realtundr4 added: “I agree with what you said, sir, but look at it, does igbo really have d right candidate? Obi is just chameleon to me he’s not real, neither do they have the leadership experience as our current president @officialasiwajubat, the one and only politician that have ever created more millionaires and successful individual in the whole nation. Make we leave hatred, JAGABAN na baba.”
@wellingtonisgreat commented: “@wellingtonisgreat said: “Nigeria belongs to everybody not hausa, yoruba, igbo, Benin have not been president before let us go? You dey talk anyhow.”
@richeart4u said: “Those that have been president, were they given free or charge? Was there a law that stopped Igbo man from being a president? How do people become a president? Or do you mean Igbo have never been allowed to contest for presidency? Same things goes to women too, why are women not hugely represented in all positions even presidency? No one is stopping anyone from becoming anything, you just have to change your strategy and alignment. You can’t be doing same thing over the years and not get the desired result and still want to stick to that failed pattern to achieve a new result. Igbo people and their candidate must be encompassing. Hausa has been aligning more to Igbo people to get whatever position they wanted and why are they not returning the favour hugely? Align to anyone that can boost your change of winning and be well accommodating and understanding the power of choices and politicking. I might be wrong 0000. Na ma small knowledge I take respond oooo.”

TRENDING VIDEO: Health minister collapsed during press conference

Health challenges affect everyone, regardless of their social status or position in society.
These issues can arise unexpectedly and often catch individuals off guard, emphasizing the importance of proactive health measures and proper care.
This reality serves as a crucial lesson for political stakeholders and those in public office.
Elisabet Lann, the new swedish health minister, made a dramatic debut as she collapsed on her first day on the job during a press conference.
As reported by The Straits Times, Lann had joined Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and other political colleagues at the media briefing on Tuesday, September 9, the same day she was appointed to the role following the sudden resignation of her predecessor.
CNN also noted the scary moment.
Videos, which have gone viral on social media, show Lann swaying while officials are taking questions from reporters.
Following the collapse, Ebba Busch, the deputy prime minister of Sweden, was seen assisting Lann, who was later able to stand and address the media.
Lann told reporters, according to Swedish daily Aftonbladet.
“This wasn’t really a normal Tuesday, and this is what can happen when you have low blood sugar.”
