Anambra State has been in the news very often recently for the wrong reasons.
Govenor Soludo hasn’t been having a very pleasant beginning as the governor of the state as insurgency had become the order of the day.
Yesterday, Some arsonists set ablaze the Governor’s Local Government Area secretariat at Aguata signaling more violence in the already heightened state.
Bellow is the Governor’s speech at the scene of the event….
“We have extended the olive branch to all genuine agitators, and made extensive calls for those in the bush to come out and shun criminality.
How do you explain to any sane mind that “resp onsible citizens” have elected to pursue a supposed legitimate course adopting criminal strategies of kidnapping, arson and murder? This is despicable, not permissible and against any known law of humanity.
Yesterday, security operatives smoked out some criminal camps at Ogboji and Aguluezechukwu, and the reprisal is the burning of Aguata LGA Headquarters by some of the fleeing criminals. Part of the items found in these criminal hideouts is a register of kidnap victims and the ransom paid. This is not who we are, never can we, under any guise allow criminals the latitiute to define who we are.
Ndi Anambra are irrepressible. They are out to reclaim their land. To restore peace, and set the pace for the building of a Liveable and Prosperous Homeland. I repeat, anyone in the bush with a gun is a criminal and would be fiercely resisted by the people.”
