I have read Anambra’s serial and compulsive liar battling with his now familiar trauma — the quake that follows any of Soludo’s transformational moves. This is particularly troubling to him, knowing that Soludo, unlike Peter Obi, his boss, will always complete whatever he initiates. What is unbeknownst to this serial liar is that he is inadvertently projecting Peter as “The Man Who Never Completes a Thing”…
It is, however, not surprising to trend watchers because Peter himself has openly admitted that he runs away from “challenges”. We had thought it was only political challenges that scare Peter, until this morning when his lying machine confirmed to all that Peter also runs away from developmental challenges. No wonder he is now the man who never completes anything.
For context, I have decided to highlight a few sterling achievements initiated and completed by Soludo in just 4 years as Governor. This list is by no means exhaustive, as it would be very lengthy for my social media audience if I decided to publish the over 120 verifiable achievements of Soludo in just 46 months:
