Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural group, has urged Anambra State Governor Prof. Charles Soludo to quit blaming others and address the state’s insecurity.
In a statement made available to Newsmen on Thursday, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Secretary-General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, stated this in response to the barbaric execution of a lady and her four children in Anambra State.
Isiguzoro said Gov. Soludo must go all out “to safeguard the lives and possessions of inhabitants of Anambra State,” while accusing him of not doing enough to uphold the oath of office he swore as the state’s Chief Security Officer.

He added that, “if there is anybody to be blamed for the senseless killings in the State, Governor Chukwuma Soludo should be held accountable.
“This is not time to shift blame, because the buck stops at the Governor’s table; he should arrest the security challenges confronting the people of Anambra State.”
The Ohanaeze scribe sympathized with the North, especially the families of the Adamawa pregnant woman and his kids “who were killed in Isulo Orumba Local Government Area of Anambra State.
“The North should accept our condolences, especially the ACF and the Arewa youths.
“We condemn in strong terms that barbaric act of violence and killing of the Adamawa pregnant woman and her kids.
“It’s not in the character of Ndigbo to indulge in such desecration and sacrilege. Those behind these carnages are criminals and must be made to face the consequences of their actions with stiff penalties.”

He regretted that criminal elements had hijacked the Biafra agitation and turned it into a killing spree.
Isiguzoro, however, said Ohanaeze “is ready to partner with the Government and people of Anambra State to end this madness.”
“This is the best time for action and not to make bogus speeches and take pictures in DSS facilities,” he concluded.
