Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, has distanced himself from a social media report where he was said to have criticised Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State.
Uzodinma, according to the report, criticised Soludo over his position on the reintroduction of history in schools. But the Governor, in release signed by his Media Adviser/Chief Press Secretary, Oguwike Nwachuku, attributed the linkage to him as mischief and a complete fabrication.
Governor Soludo had, recently, suggested that the reintroduction of history in Anambra State’s school curriculum will go a long way in ensuring that the people know where they were coming from and where they are going.
But the said mischief makers, the release said, who are out to undermine Governor Uzodinma and create mistrust between him and Governor Soludo took to the Facebook to say that the Imo State Governor knocked his brother-Governor, Soludo, and that the “re-introduction of History subject by Soludo will bring about bitterness against Nigerian Government, cannot stand.”
Governor Uzodinma said the report credited to him on Facebook was done by depraved minds who will never see anything good in what someone does, including the suggestion made by Governor Soludo on the reitroduction of history in our schools which he said is long overdue.
“It is only those who do not have anything to contribute to the society that would be against their history. Governor Soludo could not have been wrong in his suggestion that a people’s history is key to their progress and development. Most developed countries of the World do not joke with their history just as the world is replete with the history of great men and women.”
Governor Uzodinma, therefore, urged the public to disregard the report and remain positive in all things.
