Director General of Soludo Ibezim Campaign Council and Secretary to the state government Prof Solo Chukwulobelu has described the possession of fake academic results as similar to those that are fake Native Doctors.
Chukwulobelu in a statement contended that the recent war of words between Governor Charles Soludo and the duo of All Progressives Congress APC gubernatorial candidate Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu is on the account of the latest discovery that the candidate and his running mate presented fake certificates insisting that such elements cannot manage the collective affairs of Anambra people.
“The recent tantrums and despicable obscenities by the Deputy Governorship candidate of the APC—Senator Uche Ekwunife is one example. Our response is that we will remain razor-focused on the issues about the future of Anambra, and no number of fabricated obscenities can distract us. We will not take the bait to get into the gutter with them. And we will not dignify them either!”
Chukwulobelu further stated that a state like Anambra that has produced and continued to produce first class academic brains cannot condicend to half beaks with take and falsified academic records .
“Anambra cannot have a governor whose ability to read and write or add and subtract numbers is in doubt. That is the issue! ”
“We then sought to find out which university would award a straight PhD to a GCE holder (with only 4 subjects) and it turns out that the so-called university is not accredited in the U.S and not recognized by the NUC in Nigeria as a university” he said.
He noted that Anambra state would not accept people with fake academic records just as the state has gone after fake native doctors that according to him have been deceiving the youths of the state that hard work do not pay adding that those with fake academic records would be giving the impression that one can use fake academic results to become Governor.
‘Affectively, the APC ticket—gubernatorial candidate (Ukachukwu) and his Deputy (Ekwunife) have presented the worst/fake credentials for office of governor of Anambra in history. Anambra is moving forward, and never backwards!”
“That is why we are pursuing fake native doctors (Okeite Dibia’s). Those who pay and obtain fake degrees and parade fake titles are also bad influences on our children/youths. It matters more for people seeking to lead the State. That is the issue , and it remains a legitimate issue for the election”
“As a Campaign Organization, we are focused on the future of Anambra. We do not take the support of Ndi Anambra for granted. We are working hard to earn every vote based upon the value that we have created and will still create for the people. But the issue of who has the basic qualifications to govern Anambra will remain a legitimate issue in the campaign—both now and in the future! Anambra is far too sophisticated to be governed by semi-illiterates, and/or people of easy virtues” he said.
