We Igbos are killing ourselves with the so called sit@home.When Nnamdi Kanu was first in prison in 2017, I led the delegation of prominent Igbos to go Kuje for his release——- Governor Soludo
The Governor of Anambra State has called for the release of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB). He made the call during the celebration of Igbo day in Awka, Anambra state.
The Governor reiterated that he has been actively working for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu even before he became the Governor of Anambra state.he mentioned that he wrote letter to the former president of Nigeria, General Mohammedu Buhari, and copied the president elect, asking for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In the governor’s speech, he projected his reason for joining other Igbos to call for the release of the leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. According to Soludo;
“So today I also join the Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide in making the same call. I want him to be released so that he can join the rest of us the stakeholders because we need to sit around the table and have an important debate about the future of Ndi Igbos”
Governor Soludo further mentioned that there is a very important debate that the Igbos have not had and this debate is if the agitation of the igbos is to separate the Ndigbo from the rest of Nigerians or to build a prosperous Igbo land that will become a destination of choice.
In his opinion he asserted that he is not sure if the Agitation should be to separate Ndi Igbo from the rest of Nigeria and that he said this when he reviewed a book on Biafra by Chudi Ofordile in 2016.
“The Igbos need to sit down and debate and also discuss their future in a very important way, it can’t be won by emotions… something dangerous befell us, our buses and forest have been taken over by criminals pretending to be agitators or Liberators ”
The Governor posits that igbo youths have gone into buses pretending to be agitating for the liberation of igboland but there are criminals and k!dnappers, kidnapping Igbos and turning Alaigbo to become a desolate land.

Insecurity: Bode George intensifies call for state police
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has intensified his call for the establishment of state police to contain the wave of insecurity in Nigeria.
George made this call on Friday when he appeared during an interview on Arise Television monitored by Ekwutosblog.
He was reacting to the worsening insecurity situation in the country where innocent Nigerians, including women and schoolchildren are kidnapped and others killed in the process.
“First of all, what is wrong with establishing state police? We have seen nobody is going to cancel the Federal Police, but policing is local.
“When you now turn the boys who live in the same area and legalize their existence to put smiles on the faces of the people, it will be better to manage because they will understand the language of the locals. They know the do’s and don’ts in their own area. So why are we wasting time?
“I am happy I read something last week after the Arewa Consultative meeting in the North. They met and took a decision that they have agreed to a state police.
“Then the Southwest met with their governors, and the governors’ statement made after that conference is that they also accept having state police.
“What are we wasting time for? Because the way it is, you don’t even know who is telling the truth or who is telling the lie,” he said.

I’m still in PDP – Wike replies Turaki, dismisses expulsion
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Friday declared that he’s still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Wike’s comment followed his expulsion from the party by the faction led by National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki.
Turaki had formally dispatched expulsion certificates to 11 prominent party chieftains, including Wike, former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Umaru Bature, Kamarudeen Ajibade, SAN, Abdurahman Muhammad Senator Mao Ohuabunwa.
He said their expulsion was aimed at sanitising the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
Reacting to the development on Friday, Wike dismissed the claim while assuring that he would continue to work with other party members in making PDP a relevant opposition party.
The minister spoke while addressing journalists after inspecting the Interchange bridge and road linking Gwarinpa with Jahi and direct to Katampe, Gishiri and Maitama.
He said, “Those that are factionalized are bound to leave the party, I’m still in PDP and you can see that not everybody has left.
“We still have good numbers and we will continue to work together and that’s what I have said to the party. Put your house in order because at the end of the day, if you don’t put your house in order, it’s the party that is losing.
“So those who are worried, we can work together to see how the party can remain a relevant opposition.”
