A former minister of Transport and Aviation, Dr Kema Chikwe
has congratulated the new governor of Anambra State, Mr Charles Soludo who was
sworn in yesterday as a governor of the southeastern state in Nigeria.
Kema Chikwe noted that Anambra State couldn’t have had it
better to have Professor Soludo as the governor who he believes who do better
as a governor of Anambra state than previous positions he has held.
A congratulatory message sent to Soludo, Dr Kema said “I
trust your dear wife will serve as an Ambassador for the Womenfolk and partner
with you to achieve the mainstreaming of women into leadership positions and
achieving the 35% quota for Women”
“I write on behalf of my husband and me to congratulate you
on your swearing-in as the Governor of Anambra State. Your new position as the
State Governor at this critical time in the history of our country in general
and Anambra State, in particular, is a challenge for you to positively turn
around the fortunes of your people for the better. It also reaffirms the
confidence your people repose in you to lead them to greater heights.
As a distinguished scholar, Consultant to World Bank and
International Organisations, Economic Adviser to the President, Chief Executive
of the National Planning Commission and former Governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria, among other positions held previously, it is generally believed that
Anambra State couldn’t have had it better. You distinguished yourself in the
previous positions you held and there are very high hopes that you will do even
better as a Governor.
As you take office, I am confident that you will connect
with your people and make a remarkable impact in their lives and by extension,
the lives of Nd’Igbo in general. Already you have taken off by focusing on
institutional reform and change in the political mindset of your constituents
that governance is for the general good of the people and not all about
politics.
I trust that your dear wife will serve as an Ambassador for
the Womenfolk and partner with you to achieve the mainstreaming of women into
leadership positions and achieving the 35% quota for Women in both executive
and legislative sectors of Government.”
