Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has commented on the recent agitations in the South-East region of the country, IgbereTV reports.

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television, Soludo stated that brute force alone cannot douse agitations in the region.

He further revealed that his government is setting up a truth and reconciliation commission as part of measures to tackle the rising levels of agitations in the region.

The Governor said;

“A time comes when you realise that you cannot shoot an ideology with a gun. When you see it exclusively as a law enforcement matter, then you miss the point.

“We got to engage them; we got to engage everyone to really understand the root of this.”

Soludo also said the commission will look into the root causes of the agitations and document those killed in the past few years due to the tensions in the area.

The governor further averred that threats are “existential” in nature and thus should not be papered over. He also called on everyone to help the government in proffering solutions to the challenges facing the nation.

Soludo added;

“We don’t want to treat all these people as statistics.

“To the criminals, we are offering an olive branch to repent.

“So, to them, we are also saying ‘We are not condemning you, sin no more. Come out today, surrender those arms, we want to engage you back in society’

“This is something that we need to engage very seriously and in an open manner to engage everyone, believing that everyone has something to contribute”

Great initiative. Be their friends and don't try and to fight them. If you do, you will not enjoy governance in the next four years

Thank God Soludo is not trying to tow the path of Uzodinma, the IPOB issue is not his fight, he should not get entangled in it, Buhari is the cause of the violence in the south east, do your work for the people of Anambra and nobody not even IPOB will see you as an enemy, Nobody will tell Simon Ekpa to stop when people begin to see your good works...

All the people need is Fairness...

Distracting yourself with work, movies, hobbies, studying, going out, exercising, all of these can be good coping mechanisms for stepping out of an mental health crisis, but when done in moderation. When you cannot stop doing things to distract yourself all the time from the pain you are feeling, that is completely unhealthy because it keeps you from facing your true feelings about the problems you have. The only way those problems will ever stop affecting you so harshly is if you confront them, ask for help, and allow yourself to make the best decisions for your healing, instead of making short-term impulsive decisions that will only momentarily take your mind away from your troubles.

Biafra!! Biafra!!!

The foundational secrets or truths or revelation or dreams or insight about Biafra belongs to DIM ODUMEGWU OJUKWU and possibly his associates... The same person said, do not fight again... You cannot say or talk what he really saw in the deepest of secrets to say "no need for war"... The real ideology about BIAFRA are in the deep testaments or insights of DIM ODUMEGWU OJUKWU.... No matter how you pioneer the ideology of BIAFRA, you must go back to enquire from those who really had the drawing board of BIAFRA, and also know the latest language needed for BIAFRA, and the true handover or next-level ideology of warload DIM ODUMEGWU OJUKWU...

It is not all about agitating or getting angry or using war....You may have the right to do so, but until you go back to the Original drawing board and the last verdict of DIM ODUMEGWU OJUKWU, you may miss it for so long..

What is the cure for the EAST?

Let all agitators gather and angrily build the EAST like Johannesburg or Dubai... Many Igbo people have money.

Imagine if Nnamdi Kanu and all IPOB members get angry and begin to build the East by force... Imagine if they make the East look like Johannesburg or Dubai.. Imagine if they protect the East and start running a very "dangerous" development programme. I tell you, even those in Europe may return back to the East to live. Just begin massive estate development all around, massive road construction, massive arrangement of the East.. Do it even without the government, and you will be the most valued people in Igbo land, and history will never forget you.

One of the things that made God concerned on Earth was when man was building the tower of Babel......If the East is like Johannesburg or Dubai, the "intimidation" will be more than GUNS.

Let there be peace agreement, let reconciliation be done, and let Nnamdi Kanu be released.

Soludo does not know the root cause of the agitation? Is he from the moon or a new comer to Anambra State? Why do we like to deceive ourselves in this part of the world? We just like to talk..

“To the criminals, we are offering an olive branch to repent.

“So, to them, we are also saying ‘We are not condemning you, sin no more. Come out today, surrender those arms, we want to engage you back in society

He is not the first SouthEast Governor that tried to rehabilitate the criminals as he called them.

Goodluck trying to rehabilitate terrorists who do not respect the rights of others to have contrary opinion or thought, yet are quick to cryout claiming to be victims.

Even Masari of Katsina and El Rufai of Kaduna did not learn from the boko haram terrorists that were pardoned and went back to their ways. Instead, they negotiated, compensated, and pardoned terrorists engaged in banditry. Now the terrorists are more equipped to force their will and terror on the majority.

Soludo should learn from wicked Wike.

He uprooted IPOB from Oyigbo with superior brutality. Oyigbo has been peaceful since them.

Any society that allows a madman to continue to reachout to millions with a message of hate, would find itself at the mercy of insanity.
