Why I Will Not Have Problems With Obiano – Governor Soludo

Prof Chukwuma Soludo, the governor of Anambra State, has stated that he is confident that he will not have any issues with his predecessor, Willie Obiano.

Soludo’s remarks came in response to a question on whether his administration will follow in the footsteps of other governors, who frequently run into problems with their predecessors soon after taking office.

On Tuesday, Soludo said there was no place for such in his government on AriseTV’s morning show.

According to the former CBN governor, most governors have issues with their successors because some of them try to control what happens in government even when they are not in office.

“What causes such problems is that some people, even when they are out of government, they want to be the ones to determine what happens in the government, without giving the governor the chance to run the government.

“They want to determine who is where, and who gets what. And once these things begin to happen, there is bound to be a problem.

“But Chief Willie Obiano is not that kind of man. I do not see him as that kind of man who will want to interfere.

“He is a gentleman, an honourable man, and I give it to him. I mentioned him even in my inaugural speech, he is a man who stands by his words,” Soludo said.

There have been insinuations that the governor, Prof. Soludo may have already fallen apart with his predecessor but Soludo in the programme rather praised Obiano for his forthrightness, and unwavering tenacity in standing by him, after they both accepted to work together, during Obiano’s reelection bid, while also working for his (Soludo’s) election last year.
