Emmanuel Clement.
In order to have quality roads and more dividends of democracy in Anambra state,traders and residents of Ochanja market, onitsha in Anambra State on Wednesday staged a peaceful protest against the falsehood of some desperate politicians inorder to discredit the good road works of Soludo in the area.
The protestants in their various placards with inscription “Uzo Soludo”, “Ochanja road is standard”,”Our tax is working “, Support our amiable Governor for more projects”stormed the Street of Ochanja Onitsha,urging the evil men to allow the governor to continue with his good road construction in their area.
The leader of the protesting groups, Chief Okwudili Obinwanne, said that the traders and residents decided to go into protest so as to correct some impressions about the Governor and protest against the antics of some desperate politicians who are sparing no effort in an attempt to discredit the good work that Governor Soludo is doing in Ochanja, Onitsha and Anambra State as a whole.

Chief Obinwanne went further to state that for over four decades, subsequent governments including this opposition government did not think it wise of reconstructing or doing any meaningful palliative on the Ochanja road, stating that the road was dusty and bad until the story changed when Governor Soludo’s administration came into power.
“I want to let the world to know that as far as the traders and residents is concerned nothing is wrong with the road. The contractor was putting the initial layer of asphalt on the road when the very first major rain in Anambra fell with the attendant flood unseating the hot asphalt that is yet to settle on the stone base and cement stabilization components that had earlier been compacted on the stretch of road.”
” Moreso, the quality of roads are Julius Berger standard, with street lights to match, we will not tolerate any politician that dares to play dirty politics with our welfare.” he stated.
Another residents,Mrs Imelda Akunobi said that since 1999, no governor has remembered the road until Governor Soludo came in.
She opined that during her years in active service as an educationist through the ochanja road,they would carry spare shoes and dresses to change when they get to school, while describing the governor as a game changer.
The excited market traders and residents sang the praises of Governor Soludo as they matched up and down the Ochanja road under construction.
It will be recalled that a recent video trending on social media and recycled by mainstream media depicts a washed-out portion of the road due to flood, accompanied by false claims that the road was poorly constructed and commissioned weeks ago by Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo.
