POVERTY INCREASED QHEN PETER OBI WAS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE - PROF CHARLES SOLUDO
According to Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the governor of Anambra state, poverty in the state more than doubled when Peter Obi, the Labour Party's (LP) presidential candidate, served as governor.
When Peter Obi's supporters criticized Governor Soludo for suggesting that the LP presidential candidate's investments in the state of Anambra were worth virtually nothing, Soludo responded on his verified Twitter account.
Soludo claims that Willie Obiano, Peter Obi's successor, lowered the poverty rate from the 53% Obi left as Governor to 14.78%.
Soludo wrote: "Well, it is true that I said during the debate that, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, poverty in Anambra actually grew (from less than 25% in 2005) to about 53% under Peter Obi in 2010/2011 but fell under Willie Obiano to 14.78% in 2020,
"Yes, poverty more than doubled under Peter Obi and more than 50% of Ndi Anambra were in poverty under him. Go and verify"!
"I am Governor, and sitting on privileged information which I will not want to use against a political opponent."
