Valentine Ozigbo, a prominent figure of the All Progressives Congress in Anambra State, has taken aim at Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration, accusing him of prioritizing style over substance.

Although Ozigbo extended a warm welcome to President Bola Tinubu, who visited Anambra on Thursday to launch some of Soludo’s projects, he expressed that the governor's performance has fallen short of expectations.

“Governor Soludo’s record is a glaring theatre of missed priorities, misplaced ambitions, and media optics masquerading as progress,” Ozigbo said in a statement released on Thursday.

“Governance is not about cutting ribbons on facades while the foundation rots,” he said, criticising the governor’s focus on image-lifting ventures while fundamental issues like public housing, unemployment, and insecurity remain unresolved.

Ozigbo lambasted Soludo’s Solution FunCity project, stating that it was a poor priority, given the current economic challenges.

“This facility should rightly have been left to private investors. What critical social problem does this park solve? Hunger? Unemployment? Fear?” he asked.

He also claimed that members of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance were instructed not to wear party attire during the commissioning event, implying that the decision was meant to avoid scrutiny in front of the President.

“What a betrayal,” Ozigbo said. “If your policies are strong and your house is in order, why hide your colours?”

“We deserve a government that builds lives, not just lodges,” he said. “Leadership should be rooted in compassion, driven by vision, and measured by real change in people’s lives—not PR stunts.”
