Key Highlights:
– Enduring Friendship: Soludo emphasized that his friendship with Tinubu, spanning over two decades, remains unshaken despite their affiliation with different political parties – APGA and APC, respectively.
– Support for Reforms: The governor praised Tinubu’s initiatives, stating, “We are taking the right steps, and we need to stay the course.”

On security in Anambra, Soludo said his administration is deploying a mix of “kinetic and non-kinetic” strategies.
He said the Homeland Security Law passed in January is being implemented alongside a crackdown on criminal elements, including those exploiting youths.
“Our non-kinetic approach focuses on youth empowerment and job creation. We have a unique skills training programme that has already empowered about 5,000 youths, with thousands more set to benefit financially soon. We are creating thousands of youth millionaires within the next three years. The youth are very much involved.”
