My Dear Ndi Anambra,
With a deep sense of sorrow and sadness, I
address you today on the tragedy which befell us
yesterday at the Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry,
Uke, Idemili North Local Government Area of
Anambra State leading to the death of over
twenty persons.
My heart goes out to the immediate families of
the deceased, the presiding Priest, Rev. Fr.
Emmanuel Obinma, the Catholic Archdiocese of
Onitsha and indeed all Anambrarians. I assure you
that the Anambra State Government in its usual
manner, will give you all the needed support to
comfort you at this painful period.
.
It is, however, necessary to state what
happened at the vigil at Uke. The host of
the Ministry, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obinma
had personally delivered a written
invitation to me, requesting that I attend
the All Saints night prayers (November 1,
2013 being All Saints Day).
In my characteristic manner, I honoured
that invitation, arriving the venue at about
10:00pm when the mass started with no
more than 10 persons including my elder
sister, Rev. Sr. Martina Obi, the National
Chairman of APGA, Chief Victor Umeh and
others as well as less than half of my
security details.
.
It is worth-mentioning that when I was
called upon by the Priest to speak as the
Governor of the State at about 12 midnight
when the mass ended, a group of people
located in three different spots started
chanting Ngige slogans and waving the
brooms of All Progressives Congress (APC)
and the pictures of Dr. Chris Ngige, the
APC’s flag bearer in the November 16
Governorship election. It took up to 20
minutes for the priest to calm them down.
I was surprised that some people would turn a
prayer ground into a campaign venue.
In my remarks, which lasted no more than five
minutes, I promised to sponsor twenty indigent
people from among the faithful on pilgrimage,
provide access road to the premises and urged all
present to pray for Anambra State and Nigeria.
The Presiding priest and all present can testify to
this, and it is on tape.
.
I left the Adoration premises at about 3:00am on
Saturday with the persons who came with me
and arrived my Lodge at 3:30am only to be told
after my broadcast,later in the morning where I
renamed the Anambra State University (ANSU) to
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu University
that a stampede occurred at the place where I
had left three hours previously. I quickly
cancelled all my engagements on Saturday and
Sunday and started visiting relevant places to get
first-hand information on the tragedy.
I appeal to the good people of our dear State to
remain calm and prayerful as God who has been
with us all this while, will help us to overcome the
present sad development so that we can continue
the task of turning around our State.
I have directed all security agencies to do
everything possible to unearth the cause of this
mayhem. A Panel of inquiry will soon be
constituted to investigate what happened.
.
Finally,
I have declared three days of mourning starting
from yesterday in honour of our departed ones.
May their souls rest in peace!
Thank you and God bless you!

Now i can sleep well
