National convener, Recover Nigeria Project (RNP), Comrade Osita obi has issued 2weeks ultimatum to Spiritual Director, Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry Uke, Anambra state, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obimma (Ebube muonso) to apologize to Governor Chukwuma Soludo over his outburst on state of security in the state.
Obi threatened to storm the Adoration Ministry in protest, if the cleric failed to retract his attack on the Governor within the period.
Rev. Fr. Obimma had during his New year message called on the governor to tackle the security condition or resign for someone else to address it.
Addressing reporters in Awka on Saturday, the activist urged the fierry Cleric to support the governor to fight the ugly trend instead of attacking him.
He said the situation has not reached the point where a highly respected man of God like Ebube Muonso would engage the governor in a widespread media war.
He said, “To the best of my observation, no governor, since the returned of democracy in 1999, has done what Soludo administration is currently doing across the 179 communities that constitute the state within a space of two years and night months in office.
“I expected that the clergyman would have booked an appointment with the governor or called him on phone to discuss on the way forward instead of resorting to a media war.
“Governor Soludo is a good man. He has listening ear. The issue of insecurity is the responsibility of every Ndi-Anambra irrespective of political, tribe, ethic and region affiliations.
“If Fr. Obimma think he has all it takes to address the situation more than Soludo, then he should pull off his cassocks and enter the political arena like his colleague who is currently serving as the governor of Benue State to contest the position.
“I’m giving the Man of God 14-days ultimatum to retract his outburst and tender an apology to governor Soludo or I will personally storm his Ministry to also hipe his activities in the Church.”
Assuring that the issue of insecurity will come to an end in no distant time, Obi appealled to residents in the state to continue to pray for the governor to enable him actualize his vision of making Anambra a peaceful, secure, livable and prosperous state in Nigeria.
