He praised the God for protecting him throughout the years he occupied the building without it collapsing on him.

“I have been in the government of the previous administration, and, I can say that His Excellency, Mr Governor Chukwuma Soludo has a great vision for our state.

“I am proud to be part of this administration. His administration will transform Anambra state into a world mega city.
