What really happened, Obigwe reveals
Speaking with newsmen in Akwa, Obigwe said some hoodlums only launched a “hit and run attack” on the Isuofia community and not on Governor Soludo’s convoy.
He urged the general public to disregard the twisted report just as he reminded the media that they have a role in eradicating criminality in Anambra and the southeast region.
According to him, no criminal elements could withstand the level of preparedness the governor has placed on security in the state as “security remains the bedrock of sustainable development”.
His words:
“There was nothing like an attack on the governor. What happened was that criminal elements currently suffocating under the heat of the governor’s merciless onslaught against them decided to launch a hit and run attack at Isuofia.
“They did that to frighten the residents of Isuofia and to see if Soludo will back out of his decision to end the senseless every Monday sit-at-home in Anambra.
“But they have forgotten that the governor will not yield to their evil wishes as he is determined to deal decisively with them because security is the bedrock of sustainable development.
“Soludo’s convoy was not attacked at all, so I can’t tell how they got the news of Soludo’s escape from an assassination attempt in Anambra.”
