An angry Soludo said the government, in league with security agencies, is putting stringent measures in place to tackle the situation headlong
Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo, is done talking and says it’s time to go after the gunmen terrorizing the state.
Recall that a lawmaker representing Aguata Constituency II at the State House of Assembly, Okechukwu Okoye, was beheaded by the terrorists who have been on a killing spree across the South East region.
An angry Soludo, while addressing aspirants of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) at the Governor’s Lodge, Awka, said the government is putting stringent measures in place with security agencies to tackle the situation headlong and restore peace and order to the state.
Lamenting the gruesome murder of Okoye alongside his aide, Cyril Chiegboka, Soludo said the perpetrators of the dastardly act would be arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law, according to reporting by Vanguard.

He said that the security challenges confronting the state were being “perpetrated by criminals who have now engaged in kidnapping, killing and other manner of criminalities as a lucrative enterprise, a far departure from any form of political agitations”.
The governor expressed gratitude to the APGA members for their support during his gubernatorial campaign and congratulated them for successfully participating in and passing through the screening exercise of the party.
While stating that APGA, as political party, remained one big family, Soludo also expressed optimism that the party would win convincingly in the forthcoming elections at the state House of Assembly, House of Representatives and the Senate elections.
He informed them that he would help build APGA as a strong political party founded on the strong philosophy of true federalism and devolution of power, which would not be used by ng out that those who used APGA as a mercenary platform to get into office would have to be patient when they return to the party until it gets to their turn again.
“There is a need to build a political party of believers anchored on the concept of fidelity”, he added and thanked them for volunteering to serve the good people of Anambra State.
