A youth-led civic-tech organisation, AdvoKC, has launched a digital platform to track the campaign promises of the Anambra State Governor-elect, Prof Charles Soludo.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the group’s AdvoKC’s Co-Founder/Team Lead, Abiola Durodola.
The group said the platform will monitor the fulfilment of electoral promises made by the former CBN Governor, providing citizens with a platform for follow up on the promises and their progress.
According to AdvoKC, “The platform called ‘SoludoMeter’ is the first digital sub-national promise tracker in Nigeria that monitors government activities in a state to promote accountability.
“The SoludoMeter dashboard will provide information to citizens and politicians about Soludo’s campaign promises that are kept, broken, in the works, compromised and stalled. Citizens can also click on each of the promises to read short explanatory articles to drive engagement in governance across the state.
Before developing the digital platform, the group stated that it pored through Soludo’s manifesto document, debate videos, rallies and interviews to compile his 100 most important promises.
Hence, “the organisation will track important promises that affect the socio-economic condition of over 8 million Anambra indigenes.
Furthermore, this is AdvoKC’s flagship project as the organisation builds on the existing BuhariMeter and the Legislative Agenda Meter and is committed to promoting accountability through this project,” the statement read.
Professor Charles Soludo was elected Governor of Anambra State alongside his running mate, Dr Gilbert Onyekachukwu Ibezim, on the platform of All Progressive Grand Alliance at the November 6, 2021, election held in the state.
