The event of Wednesday, March 31, 2021 at the Civic Center in Isuofia, Aguata Local government, Anambra state still remains a nightmare and “unthinkable act” to Ndi Anambra and all well-meaning people in Nigeria and across the world
That some gun-wielding men could brazenly attack an event where Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo was having an interactive session with youths (indeed Future Leaders of the country) numbering over a thousand and leaving three policemen dead on its trail, is not only condemnable but highly sacrilegious.
How on earth would anyone in his or her right mind or senses wake up one morning and decide to wilfully commit this sacrilege remains a mystery, and stands condemned in the strongest words possible. But thank God the security agencies immediately swung into action and have made some good arrest
The attack on Prof Soludo, an illustrious son of Ndigbo and a global icon is a monumental shame on the perpetrators. It’s a direct affront on Ndi Anambra and the civilized people of the world. Anambra has been a home of peace until these ugly incidents took the center stage. Indeed, Anambra pride itself as the “Light of the Nation”. And by God’s grace that light of God will perpetually shine on the state. No power of Darkness shall dim it!
From the overwhelming evidence on ground, majority of Ndi Anambra have collectively queued behind Soludo for the November 6 Anambra governorship election. A project that have been committed to the divine hands of God by the people of the state
The voice of the people is the voice of God. The Soludo governorship project is therefore a divinely-induced project which is above the powers of every evil machination and every power of darkness
The simple advice is for all to join the Soludo train as we gradually inch closer to the November 6, gubernatorial election
But for those still going the wrong way, they should take a lesson from these words of God: … ‘that the race is not to the Swift, nor the battle to the strong’.
As for Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo …’the Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace… because the battle is God’s’!
It is on this promise of God that Soludo and his teeming supporters within and outside Nigeria hold on to; because in God we trust!
And ultimately, come November 6, 2021, we shall triumph to the glory of God and to the benefit of mankind! Amen!
