Obiano prepared me to succeed him – Anambra Governor – Elect Chukwuma Soludo

• Why he chose me as his successor

Anambra State Governor-elect, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, on Wednesday in an exclusive interview with Arise TV.

The Morning Show, disclosed that he has had a five years relationship with the out-going governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano which he said he will continue with after his inauguration in March as the new governor of Anambra State.

Soludo, spoke on this development following a question raised by the anchor of the show, Reuben Abati, on the feisty relationship with past governors in the state as regards their predecessors.

He said he will not fall apart with Obiano as others did with their predecessors, citing the case of Peter Obi and Obiano.

The governor-elect stated during the interview that before he emerged as the governor-elect of Anambra State after the conduct of the governorship election in the state, that Obiano had already prepared him as his successor, declaring, that Obiano told him that he settled for him as his successor based on his vision for the state and that Obiano looked around before chosen him as his successor.

Soludo, said Obiano wanted somebody who would be able to take the state to the next level after leaving office which is why he settled for him as his successor.

Soludo said he will get the best hands around to move Anambra State forward regardless of where they come from when he takes over as governor of the state in March next year.

He said he will consolidate on the massive infrastructure already put in place in the state by Obiano and take it further to the next level
