Anambra state Governor Charles Soludo has assured to resurrect the city of Onitsha.
He made this known during an interactive session with landlords in Onitsha - inland town and adjoining conurbations, on May 5, 2022, stating that sadly Onitsha is dead.
Soludo, while noting that he believes the city will rise again, stated it was killed by the twin evil of social recklessness and laxity in law enforcement.
"Killed by the twin evil of social recklessness and laxity in law enforcement. Like the carcass in Ezekiel's prophecy, I believe these "dry bones shall rise again". For this to happen though, I held an interactive session today with Landlords in Onitsha - inland town and adjoining conurbations."
During the meeting, the governor said a lot was mentioned, however the people are hopeful and willing to become progressive partners in the arduous task of resurrecting Onitsha.
"A lot was said, and my team and I took copious notes. However, the exciting take-away from today's meeting is that the people are hopeful and willing to become progressive partners in the arduous task of resurrecting Onitsha. Truth is, the “nwa otu" Spirit of Onitsha is undying. And this same spirit resonates in the homegrown solutions that were debated in the hall today," he said.
While stating that there is a new Onitsha sprouting along the banks of Nkisi and spreading into Akpaka and Nkwele, Soludo said this evolvement feels more like an important vital sign that gives credence to the fact that Onitsha isn't beyond redemption.
