From Isaac Ojo, Awka
It was excitement and jubilation for the people of Olumbanasa, a community in Anambra-West LGA as Gov Charles Soludo last Saturday paid a surprise visit to the area.
Gov Soludo actually embarked on boat trip which took him more than two hours to navigate his way to the community rather than helicopter drop, he said he did so to appreciate what ndị Anambra leaving in the area go through on a daily basis.
The governor actually mounted a tricycle keke through the bush paths after he alighted from the boat to his destinations within the community.
On getting to his destination Gov Soludo shared the story behind his decision to run for the office of governor in the first place.
He also dropped his message of peace for the warring communities in Olumbanasa, asking them to pursue peace if they want sustainable progress and development.
Gov Soludo revealed the dearness of Anambra West to his mind, pointing out that the visit is a fulfillment of his campaign promise, and expressed optimism of assessing the LGA by road, by the end of December.
He assured of helping them realize their fullest potentials by rebuilding the needed infrastructures, security, among others, and encouraged them to endeavour to export their communal way of living.
The governor during his tour of the local government area visited Alla, Odekpe, Onugwa and Igbedor.
