IPOB Agitation: Soludo Coming With Solution, Says Udensi As He Carpets South East Governors For Inaction

Interpol Systems Consultant, Sir Chikwe Udensi has commended the Anambra State Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo for coming up with solutions that will bring to an end secessionist agitations in the South East region spearheaded by the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB.

He described Soludo who was recently sworn in as governor to succeed former Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra as a good leader with a positive attitude.

Featuring on a radio programme, Open Parliament on Love FM Umuahia on Wednesday, steamed live by ABN TV and  Radio, Sir Udensi a governorship aspirant in Abia State on the platform of APGA took a swipe at the the Governors of South East for not showing as much concern as Prof. Soludo has shown when the problems started, noting that the challenges festered as a result of their inaction.

He commended the governor for reaching out to every stakeholder, including political, traditional, religious leaders, market women and youths in efforts to end the agitation and its economic consequences in the region, particularly the killings and the weekly sit-at-home.

He said instead of South East Governors to act to ensure that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB was released, he accused them of proscribing the group, a move he said was a step in the wrong direction.

Soludo had pledged to lead South East Governors for the negotiations for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, currently in DSS detention facility in Abuja.

In addition, he also said the sit-at-home imposed by IPOB every Monday in solidarity with Nnamdi Kanu will not be observed in Anambra.

While commending the governor of Anambra for the move, Sir Udensi said it has become difficult to identify who the real agitators are, noting that criminals, social misfits, and hooligans have hijacked the agitation in the region.

He said, “There is incessant killings, kidnappings and all sorts of criminal behaviours and everything is attributed to IPOB.

“It may not necessarily be IPOB that is doing all that, so there is need to differentiate the real agitators from criminals so you can see what the governor did.”

Sir Udensi expressed concern as to whether the rest of the South East Governors will support Soludo in his move to ensure that Nnamdi Kanu is released to pave way for peace.

He said peace may not take place provided Nnamdi Kanu remains in detention, urging the Federal government to immediately act to release the IPOB leader for a thorough national healing.

He also called for the release of all prisoners of conscience, commending the moves by Gov. Soludo.
