Soludo set to clear Anambra state of any criminal activity

It’s soon going to be a new dawn for Anambra state as the new state Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, is adopting the “carrot and stick” approach in ensuring that criminality in Anambra State becomes a history.

All Progressives Grand Alliance also said that Soludo’s actions had shown the whole Anambra people that his administration will not tolerate any form of criminality.

National Coordinator, APGA Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, addressed journalists in Awka, on Wednesday and he expressed his displeasure at a recent incident where cultists disrupted a scheduled meeting between the governor and Keke drivers.

Obigwe said the governor is determined to crush all forms of criminality in the state in order for the good plan he has for his people to come into manifestation.

He warned that perpetrators of crime desist from their evil acts and work in unity with the Governor for peace in the state.

He said, “Recently, there was an ugly incident that transpired in Awka, during a meeting scheduled to hold between Governor Soludo and keke riders.

“The Keke riders wanted to thank the governor for ending tourism in Anambra and as they gathered at the Ekwueme Square, cultists invaded the meeting venue and beat up one Osita, who was rushed to a hospital.

“An Igbo adage says ‘do not touch the tail of a lion whether dead or alive’. Soludo is that proverbial lion whose tail should not be touched.

“The best thing for criminals is for them to heed the governor’s advice by accepting his olive branch and surrender their weapons for peace to reign in our state.”

While condemning the attack and disruption of the scheduled meeting, the APGA chieftain commended the tricycle operators for coming out en masse to thank the governor for ending tourism in the state.

Obigwe added that the perpetrators of such acts need to pay for their deeds, adding that Anambra, under Soludo’s watch will not be a state the cultists can play with.

“Any cultists joking with Soludo’s directive should not complain when he starts dealing with them ruthlessly. The governor came prepared and he is determined to crush criminality in the state.

“So any criminal that refused to change from his evil ways will have him or herself to blame. We encourage everybody to continue supporting the administration of Soludo because he has good plans for Anambra,” he stated.
