The governor-elect of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo has vowed to use only vehicles manufactured by auto-maker, Innoson Motors as his official vehicles.
The assertion is to fulfil his campaign promise to patronise the local manufacturer if elected governor.
According to the former Central Bank Governor, “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.”
Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (commonly shortened to IVM) is a Nigerian automobile manufacturer headquartered in Nnewi, Anambra, Nigeria.
It was founded by Chief Innocent Chukwuma Nwala.
The governor-elect further stated that his wearing of local fabrics known as Akwete is not a coincidence, but has done so on purpose to support local firms and make a statement.
He said, “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.”
