Soludo’s foremost foot soldier dies days after compensation with govt appointment

Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo has lost the one of those he called apostles of his guber campaign in 2021, and the death cam days after the governor appointed him as agency’s CEO.

The late Joes Anatue was Soludo’s media team leader recently appointed as MD/CEO of  the state Signage and Advertising Agency.

Anatune reportedly died on Saturday, few days after his 62nd birthday, and a little over a week after he got the appointment.

Soludo has confirmed the death of Anatune, while also expressing shock and disbelief over the news.

In a press release, Christian Aburime, Chief Press Secretary to Soludo      said the Governor received the news of Mr Joe Anatune’s sudden death with deep pains and shock.

“Soludo described Joe Anatune as one of the foremost Apostles of the Soludo project with an uncommon strength and courage to deliver on any given assignment,’ he said.

“He stated further that Joe’s personal sacrifices during his electioneering campaign were not only exceptional but highly commendable.”

“He spearheaded the Soludo Promoters Forum (SPF) and for two years used the platform to engage the professionals into mainstream politics. The government and the good people of Anambra State will sorely miss Joe Anatune.”
