The S.D.P House of Representatives Candidate in the last election, but presently a chieftain of his original party the All Progressives Grand Alliance( APGA), Hon. Chuka Sunnyside Okafor has debunked the notion that Prof. Soludo does not belong to the grassroots and as such, is cut off from the people he intends to rule over.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Beatsinfotainment.com recently at his exquisite and luxury Ọchị International Hotel Amichi, Anambra State, Hon. Chuka Sunnyside stated that Prof. Soludo is very much a grassroots politician. In his words: “Prof. Charles Soludo is a man of the people.If you look at his name very well, which is Charly Nwamgbafor.Charly pNwamgbafor Chukwuma shows you that this is a grassroots man. How can one say Charles Nwamgbafor Chukwuma Soludo is not grassroots.
This is a man that was born and brought up in Isuofia. Just as I was born and brought up in Amichi.Where I am a grassroots mobilized. So Soludo is a grassroots mobilized, anyone that is saying anything contrary is just making propaganda and there is nothing to it. With what he has gathered upstairs, coupled with his native intelligence,I believe he will be able to make a landmark achievement and write his name in letters of gold in the annals of the history of Anambra State. I am very sure Soludo will consolidate on what Willie Obiano will leave behind.”

On the expectations from Soludo, he replied: “As I said, he is going to consolidate. If you look at Anambra State, for instance, people are saying that Obiano did not concentrate on the roads, there is no how one can complete every project in view of the allotted time. Just like me as the Chairman of my Community, I have my own agenda and you should be focused on your agenda. You give what you have and when you finish your tenure, you shift. You can be good in the educational sector, but you may not be good in the infrastructural sector. Then the next person that comes will consolidate and cover-up on areas you didn’t touch. You can’t be a jack of all trades. If you are trying to be perfect, then you are making a grievous mistake, no one is perfect.”
Asked to review Obiano’s regime, he offered: “There are no two ways about it. I must be sincere with you, Chief Willie Obiano is the only Governor that has done what is called Legendary projects in Anambra State. Doing drainages, roads and education are good. Peter Obi concentrated on the educational aspect, while ( Obiano) concentrated on Legendary projects. When Soludo comes, he can equally consolidate all on what Obi Peter and Willie Obiano have done. All these things we are talking about will be in place. Rome was built in a day. We should start from the necessary ones and gradually move to the important ones. There is no way we can tackle all the problems once and for all. That is why we need successors that can take off from where we stopped.”
On his wishes for Anambra State hé said: ” Anambra-State is a home we cannot afford to lose. Anambra State is the Light of the Nation that people come to emulate. Obiano has done his best and I pray that Soludo will do better than him. As time goes on, we as the youths will also get there. We also have things to give. We have things upstairs to showcase so that Anambra State will remain the light of the nation. Thank you”
