What is it about governing Anambra State that transforms men this way and that? In the past 22 years, this state of great education and wealth has produced what appears to be Nigeria’s most fascinating governorship chair.
I write this article not because of the Peter Obi dimension but because the arena to which Soludo has returned – the national – has not changed from the one in which he served as CBN governor and about which some questions are outstanding. Several of my articles about this are available online.
I wrote about this in a story called ‘Rusting Gold’ in August 2008, following a criminal investigation which found Soludo guilty of gross negligence and poor executive judgment. I observed, “The just published report of the presidential committee to investigate the activities of the AFC reads like a Mafioso diary… As a result, not only is Soludo’s reputation now chin-deep in the sewers, the AFC may have died a premature and ignominious death.
