Anambra State governor-elect, Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo has disclosed that his official vehicles will be the Nigerian-made Innoson Vehicles.
Gatekeepers News reports that Soludo, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), made the revelation on Wednesday during an interaction with the members of his transition committee.
He reiterated his campaign promise to support Nigerian-made products and the manufacturing sector and only use Innoson Vehicles when he is elected governor of Anambra State.
In his words, “Igbo land is one and we must protect it. We want to bring back the zeal of patronizing our own. I have said it even during campaigns, and I meant it, that if I win, the official car of the governor of Anambra State will be Innoson motors.”
Soludo further stated that his wearing of local fabrics known as Akwete was not a coincidence, but has done so on purpose to support local firms and make a statement.
He said, “My Akwete dress is not just a dress, it’s a statement. I want to make a statement with it. You know, in the entire South-East, this is the only textile thing alive, and it’s handmade, by the women of Akwaete in Abia State.
“The dresses I will wear are those made in our place here. We must protect the things that are made in our place. Something is about to happen in Igboland, and together we will get there.”
