Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo who recently unveiled a new gigantic government house in Awka, which had an elaborate celebration involving Bola Ahmed Tinubu in attendance to commission it has come under criticism by some Nigerians regarding his priorities.
Most people think he isn’t paying much attention to human capital development, especially in education as Anambra state that often Prides as the best in Nigeria now drops shockingly to 28th position in NECO released results.
On the contrary, Alex Otti of Abia state seems to be doing something different as Abia state may have taken over from Anambra with his state sitting up at No. 1 in Nigeria according to NECO.
A critique wrote this below about the two governors.
“Two Governors. Same Region. Impressive Credentials. Opposite Decisions.
One governor, a former Managing Director/CEO of one of Nigeria’s top five banks, decided to convert the newly built government house, constructed by his immediate predecessor, into a hotel. Why? He deemed it too luxurious and costly to maintain. With his background in banking, he understands cost, value, and responsible spending.

The other governor, a professor of finance and former Governor of the Central Bank, made it a priority to build a brand new, extravagant government house and even held a lavish commissioning ceremony to unveil it.
Both leaders have stellar academic and professional credentials. Both understand finance, cost, and expenditure. Yet, when faced with the same issue, they made completely different choices.
This is why educational qualification should not be the sole basis for selecting leaders.
Not all impressive credentials translate to good governance. True leadership is about values, vision, and the willingness to put the people above personal legacy.
Time reveals so much about people, obviously Alex Otti was the best thing that happened to Abia State. Only two years and results are popping up left right centre.
