The renaming of Abakaliki Street to Club Road sparked controversy, with some urging Governor Soludo to reverse the decision, citing the need for unity and reciprocity between Anambra and Ebonyi states.

Senior Special Assistant to Governor Soludo's, Dr Ejimofor Opara said the decision to restore Abakaliki Street demonstrates his commitment to preserving historical legacies and promoting peaceful coexistence.

"This move is seen as a gesture of goodwill, acknowledging the long-standing relationship between the two states.

The restoration of Abakaliki Street has been welcomed by many, who view it as a step towards strengthening ties between Anambra and Ebonyi states.

.Abakaliki street is more than a name. Governor Soludo's action underscores his dedication to honoring the history and cultural heritage of Anambra State", Opara said.
