The meeting took place at the old governor’s lodge in Amawbia.

She affirmed that Governor Soludo has consistently provided her with the necessary backing over the years and thanked him for championing the activities of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), even during challenging periods.

We are working together as progressives, we are one.

In his remarks, Governor Soludo stated that Ambassador Bianca was well-suited for the ministerial appointment, considering her extensive experience as a former ambassador and her specialized training, describing her situation as “a round peg in a round hole.”

The governor emphasized the collaborative spirit, asserting, “We are working together as progressives, we are one.”

Governor Soludo’s ambitious infrastructure and transformation drive aims to turn Anambra State into the country’s “Dubai-Taiwan Silicon Valley.”

This vision has garnered significant commendation from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. President Tinubu asserted that Governor Soludo has consistently demonstrated the same intellectual excellence that was evident during the banking consolidation era when he served as the erstwhile Governor of the nation’s Central Bank.
