Obviously if he wins eventually, then all monies must be returned with good interest init?

With this amount
Give INEC N500m
Political thugs N100m
Police  N500m.
Anambra is taken.

Soludo all this money must be paid back 100folds from Anambra state coffers when you mount the saddle.

Goodluck
Weep for Nigeria

anambra the claimed throne of wisdom is sold for a token of N2b, what a shame?
i wonder how the professor dubai is going to excercise his rulership in the middle of this mentioned debt coupled with the unknown debts.
it is obvious that such funds are useless if soludo is qualified to rule anambra.
can the pro-soludo nairalanders tell us what such funds are for if not for illegal activities including sponsoring of future armed robbers who will use the arms they get from soluod to block our roads in future.
soludo is a millenium disgrace. he is indebted to the devil and anambra definitely will be used for repayment.
anyother person in anambra is fit for that position except soludo.

to all the soludo lovers on NL - evil awaits Anambra and your people will surely payback in 100 folds ( sorrow, tears and etc).

those he helped secure loans without collateral are paying him back. soludo may even give some of those goons money to donate on his behalf.

You are spot on - can u see the circle of evil - Nigeria is in a very deep hole.

2BN, for governorship election?, in 9ja?, when a pregnant woman is dying in a hospital because there is no cotton wool. Soludo, please when you get there, i hope you will not be hardened, Only God fit help 9a

Did the People Destruction Party Governors donate 1.5billion of their personal funds or out of state funds?
[size=28pt]Mark my words. Very soon, VERY VERY SOON, this monkeys go go market dem no go return O![/size]
Abuja Mass Protest na just the beginning.

N2billion been donated to soludo does not mean he must/will a corrupt leader. Soludo is good in doing what he's good in doing. It's that PDP has the money,perhaps they(pdp) want anambra  by all means because some of their prominent or founding fathers are from this state,so they intend making our "our dear state" their own. [color=][/color][color=][/color][color=][/color]

This is simply. We only not serious in Nigeria.


FIRS should now go after all those that donated money.

1. They should show how much they earn

2. How much taxes they paid to FG

Gbosa, their account would never balance.

Only fools get deceived by these arrangee donations!

Gbam! Right on the mark!
Party governors donating 100 million dollars -1.5 billion naira- to a governorship aspirant while majority of their subjects [note not citizens] are wallowing in poverty, disease& illiteracy can only happen in a banana republic like 9ja!

what is soludo doing taking money from a federal criminal like emeka offor who helped ibb loot the treasury in those dark days? anambrarians shud get up and make sure they are not sold. but with this kinda thing am seeing and with people like alex ekwueme supporting this worst gift anambra is about to recieve the worst shud be expected.

Is raising money for campaign bad?

You must be a good sharer of money. Tell me, what sharing formula you applied.

I just pity Soludo, a man I admire so  much, with the kind of people he is mixing with all in the name of becoming a governor.

so happy my good friend is back,but just that he came back with his old antics.Nevertheless nice hearing from him again needless reminding him his ROLEMODEL has succesfully bankrupted Abia state.As for the fundraiser,please let's not let sentiment becloud our sense of reasoning,for elections all over the world it's not alien to us that funds are raised.Yes he needs the funds the pursue an aggresive campaign which will touch the nookS and crannies of Anambra state,where he will make his agenda known to almost all the populace of the state,moreover do we need to remind ourselves that this a battle against 2 ex-governors and 1 incumbent?who with there looted funds don't even need a fundraiser,of course we were all in this country when one declared assets of over 1.3tr,as a domestic staff in the presindency.Pls since when has attention turned from those that actually looted our treasury to those who helped salvage our economy.I imagine soludo being APGA candidate,everybody will be crying blue murder if he isn't elected.Please let's look beyond ethnic and party lines,and choose the right people for the right jobs,that way Nigeria will be a better place for us all.Once again WELCOME my brother.NEW YEAR NEW ERA!

@frank101. raising money for campaign is not bad but that does not mean Osama Bin Laden shud also contribute. also it is getting obvious that some people are bent on delivering anambra to PDP for a fee.

An addage says: Show me your friend and I'll tell the kind of person you are. If Anambrarians cannot stand up to fight now then let them forever keep quiet when their state treasury is being looted by our dear prof for both principal and ample interest after the elections. We already know the kind of company Soludo keeps, his tenure as the CBN governor exhibited the likes of the Akingbolas, Obieris and the Ibrus as his dearest associates. Well I guess 'great' minds think alike. PS: Dubai my foot.

[size=25pt]Anambra state ! Is that not one of Nigeria's "failed states" ! ! !  [/size]

NO ONE of those contributors to the fund has an IOTA of decency in him. CHEAP CRIMINALS is what they all are!!

Lol this soludo guy is no different than Obasanjo Uba or Oni all the same. Nothing in PDP is "donated or free"

Infact they say you have to pay to even get the parties support than afterwards, the money is raised, after that money is paid back with interest.(of course through state funds or awarding state contracts to PDP members)

100 gbosas for anambra  

@blacksta
Evil may attract evil but don't 4get that white pap can come out of a black pot nd not all dat glitters is Gold.
@slap1
How many of our so called opposition leaders didn't realise their wealth frm d dark days of d military d PDP is also interested in winning free nd square so if they decide to raise 10b naira let that be a lesson to all other mushroom and one man parties we hav in d country

Ubanidare u hit d nail right on d forehead does Soludo hav to be in an oposition party b4 we can trust him Andy Uba is suddenly a saint because d PDP rejeceted him Ngige is also a product of the PDP so who says Soludo a man who made our economy wat it is today

Am just beginning to think that it's only a mentally derailed individual OR one without any molecule of truth can support this today's Soludo for governorship position.

Our comments here shows how shallow knowledged we are in politicall affairs. Tell me which electioneering campaign that does nor require money Fashola had his fund raising dinner and money was donated to him. Today, who is stopping Fash from doing his work. Money was also raised for Sullivan Chime, Akpabio and so many others. Why wold Soludo sell his decorum for paltry N2bn Pls lets be objective in our reasonings and comments. Money was raised for Obama, Gordon Brown, and the rest. Lets reason like people who are alive!!!

This is the only sane comment here.

@gentlelegg
That someone does not hold the same view with u does not put u in a position to determine the persons level of sanity nd evryone has d freedom to support whoever they want to nd I believ that Soludo is a good candidate for the job nd wit d recent donations is on his way to clinchin d job

Lecture on donations for politicians totally un-necessary but at the same time you would agree that Anambra's case has always been special and would continue to be special.

Political dynamics in Nigeria make it impossible to succeed without some accommodation of the devil. That's the just the way it is. I hold that not against Soludo.

What matters is what becomes of him when he achieves power. How he deploys his authority and leverages his knowledge for the betterment of the people. Getting people like him into politics is only the first step in encouraging professionals and capable people to enter politics.

Let's give Soludo a chance.
