“This has made Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, ODENIGBO, the first-ever executive governor of Anambra State to have visited this neglected, abandoned and marginalized island.
“This visit showed the sincerity of Mr. Governor in treating every community in Anambra State as a stakeholder. It showed his passion for the less privileged and his commitment to developing the abandoned communities in Anambra state.
“In the past 20 months of Soludo’s administration, what I witnessed is consistency, strong will, determination and convinced hope of future success.
“When you visited us, first, you used a car, after which you have to come down and continued with canoe and finished with Keke or motorcycle.
“Prof. Soludo is the governor of the oppressed. Olumbanasa are proud of you.
