Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State said he is supporting President Bola Tinubu because of the President’s bold steps on the economy and structural reforms.
Soludo made the remarks while speaking to journalists after meeting with President Tinubu on Tuesday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He urged political parties that identify as progressive to form a broad coalition to advance not only democracy, but also economic and social development in Nigeria.
Soludo stated, “The President is in such high spirits, hale and hearty, and it was such a pleasure to meet with him; it was quite a pleasant meeting.”
The governor stressed that his support for Tinubu is unwavering, despite not being a member of the All Progressives Congress.
“President Tinubu is my friend; he has been my friend for 22 years now and counting, so you don’t deny your friend.
“I support him, and I’m impressed by the bold steps he has taken, particularly in the areas of the economy, the structural reforms, and I have said so severally times, we’re taking the right steps and we need to stay the course,” he said.
On the issue of insecurity in Anambra, Soludo said his administration has adopted a holistic strategy to tackle the situation.
“It involves a holistic approach to the issue of security. If you realise, in January this year, we passed our Homeland Security Law, which is trying to deal with insecurity from the foundations.
“All the deadly native doctors are on the run from the state, because these are the guys giving false hopes, and deceiving our young ones and luring them into criminality and all of that,” he emphasised.
He further explained that the state is using both kinetic and non-kinetic methods to tackle insecurity.
“Very fundamentally, we’re approaching it very comprehensively, what they call the kinetic and non-kinetic approaches. The kinetic is gone and the usual, but the non-kinetic, especially with what we are dealing with, the youths, the empowerment, the job creation.
“We have a unique one-year programme, through skills that are like no other, where we trained and empowered about 5,000 of them, and another 8,700 will be receiving some billions this month or next month, and we’re creating several 1000s of youth millionaires right away within the first three years.
“This is cascading all over the state. The youths are very much involved, and we’re also dealing with the issue of hardship, beyond the massive infrastructural transformation, beyond fixing our schools, fixing our health, and so on.
“We’re also very intentional about the economic and social empowerment of the youth. So we’re doing quite a whole lot, the kinetic, the intelligence gathering, and those who run foul of the law will be decisively dealt with,” he stated.
