Professor Charles Soludo, the governor of Anambra State, has criticized the state’s rich citizens for their meager investments in community and youth development initiatives.

Speaking during a Channels TV-sponsored Anambra Youth Empowerment program, Governor Soludo described a recent experience that made him worry. “I was at one funeral in Anambra during the Yuletide season, and when we went into one tent, there were quite a number of who’s who, Somebody said to me that he’s in a club of 139 billionaires in Anambra, and I clapped and I said, This is wonderful.” he said.

The governor, however, contested these wealth claims and established the exclusive standards for identifying the state’s billionaires. “The only way we know that you are a billionaire in Anambra state is if you show us the roads that you have done, the schools you have done for Anambra state, the hospitals, or how many thousands of youths you have trained and empowered,” he declared.

The governor rejected only financial claims, focusing on practical impact: “If you cannot show us 1,000 youths in Anambra that you have trained and empowered, you are not a billionaire, money is what money can do, anybody can say, ‘I have 1 trillion or 10 trillion,’ it means nothing.” he stated.
