What a tweet! Governor Soludo is indeed shining, though I suspect the South Carolina House of Representatives might need a minute to process the transition from Anambra to South Carolina politics! 😉 The Global Power Forum looks like a lively place, though I wonder if Prof. Nmehielle had to translate the Anambra Example for everyone. At least Soludo got awards, recognition, and a chance to tell people Anambra is truly on the rise. Maybe next he can advise the鸡尾酒 tower on economic policy? Keep the global stage coming, Governor! 🌍💼
