Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has taken a swipe at Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Soludo, over the continued absence of pipe-borne water in the state.
In a post shared on her Instagram page, the actress recalled that during Governor Soludo’s re-election campaign, he promised to restore pipe-borne water to Anambra communities. According to her, shortly after the promise was made, water began to flow through taps across the state.
However, Rita alleged that the situation changed immediately after Soludo won the election, claiming that the water supply stopped once again. She expressed disappointment over what she described as a pattern of unfulfilled political promises, urging leaders to be more accountable to the people.
She wrote: ‘’ATTENTION
PROFESSOR GOVERNOR CHARLES SOLUDO , OLU ATU EGWU LIKE YOU ARE FONDLY CALLED…….
THE CAMPAIGN SONGS AND PROMISES ARE GONE WITH THE WIND .
CAN WE POSSISIBLY SEE OUR PIPE BOURNE WATER RUN ?
A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT POLITICIANS ARE MEN OF MANY WORDS THAT THEY SPEAK FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE MOUTH .
I AM BEGINNING TO AGREE WITH THEM , JUDGING , FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN NIGERIAN POLITICS . THOUGH SOME MAY SAY THAT IT IS NOT ALL THE POLITICIANS , BUT A GOOD NUMBER OF THEM .
IT IS DEBATABLE BUT WHERE A GREATER PERCENTAGE OF THEM FALL WITHIN THOSE WHO SPEAK FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE MOUTH IT BECOMES WORRISOME . POLITICAL ADVISERS , IN MOST CASES , ALSO HAVE A SHARE OF THIS ANOMALY BY NOT CALLING THE ATTENTION OF THEIR PRINCIPALS .
IN ANAMBRA STATE , DURING THE LAST CAMPAIGN THAT BROUGHT BACK THE INCUMBENT , PROFESSOR CHARLES SOLUDO , WE WERE ENJOYING PIPE BOURNE WATER , IT HELPED TO EASE OFF THE SUFFERINGS OF THE RESIDENCE OF ONITSHA WHO BEFORE THEN WERE RELYING ON THE SERVICES OF WATER BOREHOLE SUPPLIERS . TODAY WE ARE BACK TO SQUARE ONE , THE TAPS ARE DRIED UP, THE CAMPAIGN SONGS AND PROMISES ARE GONE WITH THE WIND , THE RESIDENTS OF ONITSHA HAVE NOW RESORTED TO PRAYERS HOPING THAT THE TAPS WILL FUNCTION SOMEDAY . FROM A LITTLE RESEARCH I MADE , IT’S LIKE THERE ARE SOME LITTLE THINGS HIS EXCELLENCY HAS TO DO FOR THE TAPS TO START FUNCTIONING ONCE MORE , THIS ALLEGEDLY HAS ALSO BEEN BROUGHT TO HIS NOTICE , WAITING FOR HIS ACTIONS .
I PLEAD ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS OF ONITSHA , THAT HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR CHARLES SOLUDO SHOULD RE-ENACT THE CAMPAIGN MAGIC SO THAT THE TAPS SHOULD BECOME FUNCTIONAL ONCE MORE . WE ARE SUFFERING , NO STEADY POWER SUPPLY , AND NO PIPE BOURNE WATER , THESE ARE ESSENTIAL COMMODITIES THAT HELPS TO SUSTAIN LIFE . MEANWHILE , LET’S CONTINUE WITH OUR PRAYERS .
IT SHALL BE WELL .
GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY SUNDAY GREAT LOVERS OF RITA EDOCHIE I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A PEACEFUL NIGHT ?
I LOVE YOU GUYS AND WILL NEVER TAKE YOUR LOVE /SUPPORT FOR GRANTED”
