Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo has lamented that the treasury he met after former Governor Willie Obiano handed over to him is not much to be desired.
Speaking on Tuesday morning on Arise TV, the governor said,
“In terms of debt I inherited, it runs into hundreds of billions of Naira. In that of cash, we met about 300 million Naira only. In fact let’s not talk about it. Our treasury is funny.
“But I hope we shall make money henceforth to help us fulfill our promises for infrastructure and development of the state. But in terms of what I met in our coffers, my brother, it’s pathetic. Please let us not go there. God will help us”.
Speaking about Onitsha, the commercial city of the state, Soludo said,
“We will return Onitsha to its glory and make shopping and living in Onitsha pleasurable.”
