While calling on the people of Anambra State to support the governor’s transformation agenda, the party said the state’s dying economy must be resuscitated by stopping the criminals enforcing the illegal sit-at-home.

“When Soludo assumed office, he realised that the ‘Monday sit-at-home order was killing the Anambra economy and destroying the future of our children; hence the reason he decided to collaborate with the authentic leadership of IPOB to go after the criminals that were still enforcing the already cancelled order.

“Investigation proved beyond every reasonable doubt that one Finland-based Simon Ekpa is the leader of the criminal gang terrorising the state and the whole Igbo land under the guise of enforcing the ‘Monday sit-at-home order.

Investigation proved beyond every reasonable doubt that one Finland-based Simon Ekpa is the leader of the criminal gang terrorising the state and the whole Igbo land under the guise of enforcing the ‘Monday sit-at-home order.

“Ekpa has resorted to blackmailing Soludo and the authentic leadership of IPOB, but shame awaits him because the governor is not ready to back out of his decision to restore the economy of the South-East from being destroyed by criminals. The most annoying part is that Ekpa is not based in Nigeria. Ekpa dumped Nnamdi Kanu and said openly that his faction of IPOB would no longer take directives from him.But the governor had gone as far as offering them amnesty and calling on them to drop their guns and embrace a legitimate way of earning a living. He recently revealed that the criminals terrorising the state, that were arrested by law enforcement agents, were not from Anambra State. I, therefore, believe they must be from Simon Ekpa’s home state.

“Ndi Anambra, we must join hands with Soludo to resist these criminals that want to hold our state economy to ransom. On April 4, last week, the ‘Monday sit-at-home order was put to an end, with prayers in all the churches in the State. Anambra is our only State and we must restore the lost glory of our State by resuscitating our dying economy,” he said.
