According  to him,  God has blessed him beyond imagination and the only thing  he can do now  was to devote his entire life serving the state after serving outside meritoriously  .

“I have served the world and the country . I have finished with the world and Nigeria , I now want to use the rest of life to serving  my state Anambra and replicate what I have done outside to my state.  I am fulfilled and i want God to use me as contact of blessings to others .I am in the governorship race  to bring my service home and touch the lives of the people in the state .

“I grew in the village from a poor home and God in his infinite mercy raised me up  beyond imagination . I am grateful to him and I want to serve  Anambra state because God  knew why  he created me in the state ” he said .

Soludo said that God has done everything for him and he is not asking for more   but the only thing  he is  asking God is  to use him as  a vehicle to empower and raise  people in the state .

According to him, if he becomes the governor of the state , he will replicate his good deeds in the world  and Nigeria  in the state , saying when he became the governor of CBN ,he  effectively carried out what he did in  bank consolidation which  a lot said it was not  impossible but he did it.

He  also said God has  blessed him  with the gift of  transformation and anything he touches yields good fruit ,noting that he wants to  transform Anambra .

” It is my intention to turn around the state for good . I will turn around the education sector  in the state as  one of the best in the country, comparable to others in the world . No country can develop above its educational institution .

“I want to  create an  environment where the Anambra people and  unborn children will be proud to call Anambra their state . I want to see Anambra as a state where the  people will have all the incentives and attractions  to live in the state rather than  having preference of  moving to other states .We must come together and build our state for ourselves and for our children” he said .
