Andy Uba Tackles Soludo Over N2b Mobilised In Mother’s Name For Hospital

Senator Andy Uba has tackled Prof Charles Soludo over the N2 billion he supposedly mobilized from friends 13 years ago to build a hospital in his mother’s name saying that the APGA candidate has neither built the hospital nor returned the money.

Senator Uba spoke following harsh criticisms from Soludo who recently called out Andy Uba over the role he, played in the attacks in the attack on the state while Senator Chris Ngige was governor of the state.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that Senator Andy Uba was at that time Special Assistant to the president on domestic matters, one of the president’s closest aides.

Responding on behalf of Senator Andy Uba, his spokesman, Hon Afam Ogene in a statement made available to  GreenWhiteGreen GWG said:

“On the failed attempt to drag the name of Distinguished Senator Andy Uba into  events that happened in Anambra at the time he was dutifully serving in the Presidency, we state, unequivocally, that no Panel of Inquiry set up in the aftermath of the crisis indicted him, or had his name mentioned under any guise.

“In deed, since Professor Soludo’s current godfather is still Governor of Anambra state, and custodian of all official documents relating to the state, we challenge him to produce any shred of evidence, or document linking Senator Uba to the issues raised – or permanently shut up and stop the further maligning of his person.

Tackling Soludo on the N2b he supposedly mobilised in his mother’s name to build a hospital, the Andy Uba Campaign said:

“Indeed, we advise Prof. Soludo to first deal with the issue of N2 Billion which he dubiously collected from individuals and corporate organisations under the guise of building a memorial hospital in honour of his mother. Today, 13 years after, there is neither a hospital building standing anywhere in fulfillment of that pledge, nor has the eminent Professor of Economics lived up to the demands of his calling, by rendering a proper account of the donated sums of money, or an apology.”

“We wish to further remark that it is the very height of hypocrisy, when Governor Obiano and his protege, Soludo go on campaigns with an assortment of security personnel, he assumes the title of chief security officer of Anambra state. But when he fails to provide security cover for other candidates, he passes the buck to President Muhammadu Buhari.

“In the fullness of time, both Governor Obiano and Soludo would realise that their boasts about being in control of the forces of coercion is after all, a transient privilege,” the statement added.
