Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the former CBN Governor and Anambra State governor-elect, has disclosed that his official vehicles will be the Nigerian-made Innoson Vehicles.
Soludo mentioned this on Wednesday during his interaction with the members of his transition committee. The statement issued by the newly elected governor demonstrates his commitment to supporting Nigerian-made products and the manufacturing sector.
Soludo reassured the public of his campaign promise to only use as his official cars, vehicles made by Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing when he is elected governor of Anambra State.

He said :
“Igbo land is one and we must protect it. We want to bring back the zeal of patronizing our own. I have said it even during campaigns, and I meant it, that if I win, the official car of the governor of Anambra State will be Innoson motors.
“My Akwete dress is not just a dress, it’s a statement. I want to make a statement with it. You know, in the entire South-East, this is the only textile thing alive, and it’s handmade, by the women of Akwaete in Abia State.
“The dresses I will wear are those made in our place here. We must protect the things that are made in our place. Something is about to happen in Igboland, and together we will get there.”
On his swearing-in, the former Central Bank Governor (CBN) also said there would be no fanfare, noting that no Kobo would be taken from Anambra State purse for it.
“I have made a wish that not even one Kobo of Anambra people’s money will be spent on that swearing-in ceremony. It is a wish, and I mean it. What are we spending money on? Just a few people coming to the inauguration and witnessing it, then I will open office and get down to work immediately.
“I do not wish any event, dancers or players and all that. I just want to show up for work, like every first workday. Though it is going to be a Friday, which is the weekend, I’m going to work for over eight hours that day.
“No ceremony, no event, no party, nothing. Not even 10 Kobo will be spent. So the people who are saying N20 million has been budgeted should go and tell us where they will get that money. It is going to be work, work, work, and that is what we epitomize,” he added.
