Young people in Anambra State chanted praises of President Bola Tinubu during his visit to the state on Thursday to commission projects implemented by Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration.
In reference to the president being the father of the country, some young people started chanting in Pidgin English that Tinubu was their father as he was about to conclude his speech.
Even though the song had earlier been very controversial, the youth sang “Na our papa be dis o, we no get another papa,” to the hearings of attendees
Picking up from where he left off, President Tinubu acknowledged them, saying, “Thank you, God bless you.”
The projects commissioned by the president include the Emeka Anyaoku Centre at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, the new Government House, the Solution Fun City, and the 8-lane Aroma-Government House Boulevard in Awka.
Tinubu described Soludo as a “friend” and “visionary leader”.
“Soludo is here providing a solution, and that solution is in infrastructure and in carrying people along in the area of development. Serving people and building institutions. This is all about democracy; it is about prosperity. It is environmentally responsive governance,” he said.
“Well done, Mr Governor, for reflecting the quality of governance for the people of Anambra.
“Anambra is achieving great heights. Building our tomorrow, today. A leader like Governor Chukwuma Soludo placing Anambra on the path of 21st-century development.
“You are a good thinker; you are a solution provider. We can go places together. Building Nigeria. Building the future. Using technology to build and reflect good governance on the people. Promote investment. We must encourage good governance.”
