From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha
The National Coordinator of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Media Warriors Forum, Evang. Chinedu Obigwe has faulted those spreading rumours of insecurity in Anambra State and declared that Anambra of today is very secured under the result oriented leadership of Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
Obigwe spoke in Awka yesterday following the pandemonium that ensued in different parts of the state on Friday over the rumoured attack by unknown gunmen enforcing the one week sit-at-home order by Simon Ekpa led group of Biafra agitators
He noted that a lot has really changed in Anambra State for good recalling that when people talk about insecurity in the state, it reminds him of the fact that Governor Soludo was once a victim of gunmen attack prior to the governorship elections but he was undeterred by the incident as he rather went ahead to confront the situation after his swearing –in.
He said that If Soludo was chicken hearted and lily livered as at the time he was attacked by unknown gunmen, he would have chickened out of the governorship election race.
He noted that the only thing that made Governor Soludo to continue is his sincere desire to change the situation for the good of Anambra people.
He said the first thing Governor Soludo tackled on assumption of office was the problem of insecurity noting that as at the time he came into office, the story of unknown gunmen killings was like a daily occurrence but as of today, people hardly hear news of such killings again in the state.
He said Soludo took the battle to the doorsteps of the killers while nobody would have ever believed that the criminals that masqueraded as unknown gunmen will resort to scaremongering tactics and spread of propaganda to frighten people.
“That is what they have been reduced to in Anambra State by Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo’s well equipped and fortified security architecture. During this period that Simon Ekpa declared 7days sit at home in Southeast, we watched videos of unknown gunmen shooting sporadically in Enugu, Ebonyi and imo State but such did not happen in Anambra State.
“The only thing that happened in Anambra State was that the evil minded cohorts of unknown gunmen deployed scaremongering tactics and propaganda to frighten people. I saw people running up and down without seeing anybody pursuing them. Infact, I took it upon myself to investigate what happened that yesterday. I visited some of the places they claimed that witnessed unknown gunmen shooting in Onitsha and discovered that it was a fabricated tissue of lies.”
“Those that know the situation of Anambra in the past and the situation of things in the State as at today are grateful to Governor Soludo for proffering a workable solution to our security challenges.
“The truth is that the reasonable ones in Anambra are saying well done to Governor Soludo and our gallant security operatives for being able to tackle the evil menace of unknown gunmen in our State.I say it without fear of contradiction that our beloved Governor Soludo has reduced the dreaded unknown gunmen to cowards that resorted to the use of scaremongering tactics and propaganda to frighten ndi Anambra”.
“The fear of being sent to their early grave by Governor Soludo watertight security architecture is now the beginning of the wisdom of the dreaded unknown gunmen in Anambra. They can no longer come out boldly to operate in Anambra State like they do in some neighbouring states”.
“Governor Soludo’s mission in Anambra is to transform our beloved State and he started doing that by first tackling our insecurity problem. Having achieved his target of ensuring that the good people of Anambra State are sleeping with their two eyes closed, he turned the 21 LGAs of Anambra State into a massive road construction sites”.
“The undisputed truth as at today is that the reasonable opposition party members are confessing that Governor Soludo is working in all sectors of governance to transform our State.But on the part of the disgruntled opposition elements, they are behind the fabricated stories of insecurity in Anambra State because they want to use such fabricated stories for campaign in 2025”.
“As for the reality on ground, Anambra is now more secured than before. You can hardly commit crime in the State and go scot-free because Governor Soludo’s watertight security architecture are always on guard watching over the State and the good people of Anambra. More grease to the elbows of our beloved Governor Soludo.” He said.
