Uzonna Soludo, the son of Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Soludo, has sent out a public message on social media. In his short but direct statement, he addressed people who keep asking him to “link up” — a slang often used to suggest meeting or forming a personal connection.
Uzonna, who is not often in the public spotlight like his father, seemed uncomfortable with the attention he has been getting from strangers. He pointed out that many people have been reaching out to him for no clear reason, just because of who his father is.
In the message, Uzonna politely but firmly asked people to stop sending him messages trying to connect. He explained that he is not interested in forming unnecessary friendships or relationships simply because he is the governor’s son.
He also made it clear that he values his privacy. Even though he didn’t directly insult anyone, his message showed that he’s tired of being approached by people who want to use their connection with him to get closer to his father or gain favor.
His post has drawn different reactions on social media. Some people praised him for speaking his mind and setting boundaries. Others felt disappointed, thinking he was being too harsh. But Uzonna’s message is a reminder that public figures — and their family members — are also human beings with limits.
In a world where social media makes people feel very close to public figures, Uzonna’s statement stands out. It shows that not everyone who has access to the internet wants to be reached by strangers. It also reminds us to respect people’s personal space, even if they come from famous families.
As the governor’s son, Uzonna is expected to attract public attention. However, he clearly wants to live a more private life and is asking others to understand that. His message was not rude, but it showed maturity and confidence in setting personal boundaries.
