Touts, let the poor breathe in Onitsha

 Touts, let the poor breathe in Onitsha

By Izuchukwu Adichie

Ndi Anambra knows that Soludo’s journey is that of a Governor who came to transform the state, from giving life back to Okpoko that were left ruined for decades to rescuing the poorest of the poor through politics of development and not the usual stomach infrastructure and declaring war to touts to allow the poor to breathe in peace.

Anambra is the light of the nation. A home where vulnerable people are destined to carry out their businesses peacefully without being harassed by miscreants. It is a land for hard-working residents who came to live in harmony to enjoy many of Soludo’s transformative governance including a free education that is truly free, free antenatal and delivery that doesn't ask if a beneficiary comes from the sun or the moon.

Truly, it is time touts should give peace a chance and allow the poor to breathe in the state, and may Anambra continue to succeed, Amen!
