Rita Edochie Calls Out Charles Soludo Over Water Supply Stoppage After Campaign Restoration
Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has publicly called out Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Soludo, over the sudden stoppage of portable water supply in her area.
The actress expressed her frustration after water supply, which she claimed was restored during the governor’s re-election campaign period, allegedly stopped running shortly after the exercise. In a statement shared on her social media platform, Rita Edochie questioned why residents are once again facing water shortages after what she described as a temporary relief.
According to the actress, the restoration of portable water had brought hope to many households that had struggled for years with inconsistent supply. She noted that the development was widely celebrated in the community, particularly as access to clean water remains a critical need for residents.
However, she alleged that the supply was abruptly cut off, leaving residents confused and disappointed. Rita Edochie urged the state government to provide clarification on the situation and to ensure a lasting solution rather than what she implied was a short-term intervention.
The actress emphasized the importance of consistent access to potable water, highlighting its role in maintaining hygiene, preventing waterborne diseases, and improving overall living standards. She called on relevant authorities to address the issue promptly in the interest of public health.
Residents in parts of Anambra State have in the past raised concerns about irregular water supply, relying instead on boreholes, water vendors, and other alternative sources. Public infrastructure challenges, including maintenance and funding issues, have often been cited as contributing factors.
While the state government has not officially responded to Rita Edochie’s remarks at the time of filing this report, political observers note that public accountability on basic amenities such as water supply remains a key issue in governance discourse.
As reactions continue to trail the actress’s statement, many residents are hopeful that the concerns raised will prompt swift action from the authorities to restore and sustain the water supply.
