“The words on the lips of every onye Anambra as at today is that the governor is a meticulous person and a man that keeps to his promise.
“With the construction of 14 kilometres of street roads in Okpoko, the whole area will turn to small London.
“We will not forget that Okpoko was a neglected area before but that neglected area is where Soludo is starting his administration transformation agenda.”
The party stressed that the efforts of the governor had wiped away the tears of the inhabitants of the area.
