I Haven’t Received Any Salary In 2 Years:
Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo of Anambra State says he is yet to receive any salary since he assumed office two years ago.
Soludo disclosed this on Sunday in Awka, the State capital during the celebration of two years anniversary of his administration.
He also said his wife, being the First Lady of Anambra, does not have an official car.
“As I speak to you, I am not taking any salary. I am not paid my salary by the Anambra State government”
“Even the First Lady of Anambra doesn’t have any official car, she still drives my personal vehicles”, Soludo said.
Açcording to the governor, he had been deliberately executing the most austere measure of government ever cutting costs and not borrowing.
He said any governor, that comes floods you with offers for borrowing and so on and so forth, but we decided for the first two years to demonstrate something, capacity to do more with less.
“And so far as been said, for two years, despite receiving about 25 percent in real terms or in dollars terms of what was in the past, we have chosen deliberately not to borrow.
“I have been asked severally, how do you do without borrowing and with the difficult circumstances? And my answer is that we are executing the most austere measure of government ever”.
