His words:
“We can’t build this homeland by turning the sword against each other. Ndi Anambra loves their homeland but the recent upsurge in criminality poses a great threat. My heart bleeds to see and hear about our youth dying in senseless circumstances.
"Every criminal gang - kidnappers, wicked murderers, arsonists, rapists, thieves— all now claim to be freedom fighters."
The Guardian reports that while stating that the violence and killings going on in the region must come to an end, Soludo said all stakeholders in the southeast must work together to bring an end to the violence.
The governor also called on politicians to quit playing politics with the lives and peace of the people of the region.
He said:
"Criminality cannot be sugarcoated. This must stop. All the stakeholders must now review both the narrative and the action plan.
"There is no conflict that dialogue, in good faith, cannot resolve."
