Nigerians on X (formerly Twitter) have knocked Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State as a video surfaced on social media showing a man who was refilling the water fountain built in March and recently inaugurated at Ochanja Roundabout in the popular Onitsha city in the state.
In April, Governor Soludo’s name filtered the media space on how he magically transformed Ochanja Roundabout in Onitsha, which has been known for hosting a mountain of refuse and animal carcasses, with deplorable roads for over 20 years.
The Commissioner for Information in the state, Paul Nwosu highlighted how roads like Ozomagala, Ochanja-Iweka, Menax and other adjoining roads abandoned for over 30 years had been a major source of worry and concern for residents, traders and commuters.
He had lauded that with the power of transformation Governor Soludo often talked about, “The area has become an enchanting roundabout with a functional water fountain,” stressing that “that is a transformation in practical terms.”
However, less than expected, a video making the rounds on social media has shown a man using gallons to fetch water from an unknown source to refill the Ochanja Roundabout water fountain.
The video has generated backlashes against Governor Soludo and his government as netizens lambasted the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Reacting to the viral video on X platform on Monday, human rights activist, Chude Nnamdi, @chude__ said, “Water fountain is one of the most difficult structures to maintain especially in a country where there’s no steady electricity.
“When Soludo embarked on building this Water Fountain at the Ochanja Roundabout, many of us pointed this out. Now, take a look at the mediocre project after a few months of commissioning.
“One simple flyover on that axis would have been better and beneficial to the people.”
Another X user, @arinzeumez wrote, “Wait till they return the water fountain to refuse dump. I’m sure it will happen soonest.
“Once that Ochanja flood dump refuse there and if the government didn’t hurriedly remove the refuse, trust my Onitsha Ochanja people.”
Also, @Chukwunaeme1 surprisingly asked, “Wait o, na mai ruwa dey pour water inside water fountain?” while @iam_wilsons said, “I am ashamed for Soludo. Just negodu (see) waste of public funds. Water fountain my foot.”
Another X user, @Aloefuna1 said, “The solution is here without knowing the way to the solution again. Which one is aboki fetching water for the water fountain to work?”
@felimek wrote, “Confused people, so who is interested in this? Oga fix the road, that is what matters to a trader going home after the day’s hustle.”..CONTINUE READING FULL ARTICLE HERE
