Insecurity: Bishop Ezeokafor Hails Soludo On Plan to Grant Amnesty to Agitators

By Mmaduabuchi Onwumelu

The Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese, His Lordship Most Rev Paulinus Ezeokafor, has commended the actions being taken by the Anambra State governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo to return the state to normalcy, particularly the plan to grant amnesty to the agitators.

He said in an interview at St. Patrick's Catholic Cathedral, Awka that the move would go a long way towards douse the feelings of all the actors involved in the present situation.

His words 'Every action has a reaction and I believe that most of the actions we are seeing today are reactions following that neglect of the Igbo.

'But I also believe that it can still be redeemed and remedied. Those who are complaining have reasons to complain and what they are complaining about is real, but their method of approach is faulty.

'What our people are doing is not right because we are fighting ourselves and destroying our economy.

'This issue of sit- at- home every Monday does not help us if we must tell ourselves the truth. Everything an Igbo does to feed himself is through hard work and anybody stopping the economy from working is not helping us.

'If people are realistic, they should listen to voice of reason. People who should talk are talking. In the present circumstance, all the traditional rulers in Igbo land, the clergy, the PGs of communities, the government and everybody, are saying, let us look for another way of doing things.

'Yes we are in chains, but this is not the way to approach the issue. For people to be operating form the forests is not the right thing to do, we should operate from the house and not to destroy ourselves.

'I know very well that as Igbos, it is not in our culture to kill. We can use our mouth to quarrel, but using knives and cutting people is alien to us.

'So I really plead with those who think the solution is fighting and making people not to go to school or attend to their businesses to know they are not on the right track.

'Yes, what they are complaining about is real, but let us find a better way of handling the matter.

'The Igbo elders have come out and intervened and I want our people to listen to them. Dialogue is very important and we should use it,' he concluded.

Oldman you speak so rightly and Soludo have done his part

But igbos need massive education on how this things are done

They want Biafra.

They took up arms to burn and kill their fellow igbos that want Biafra

Stopping their business and killing anyone who go pray for church or open shop

And to them they are doing people in katsina and Oyo State

They denied their own children from going to school or writing waec.. because they believe by doing that the future of katsina children is gone

They online worriors say address the situation

Otherwise they will keep killing their own blood and people in sokoto will be the people dying

They have totally lost sense and reason

The blood they took don they worry them

They now even eat their fellow igbos .. all to prove a point to those in maidugiri and Benue that they’re serious

What will now happen when they get the BIAFRA

SENSELESS

Same people would open their hypocritical tongue to slam Northern Governors granting amnesty to bandits. It's all about " my terrorists are finer than yours". Bunch of red cap hypocrites.

Be like say this one no understand wetin him dey talk? So it's right to grant amnesty for extreme terrorist like Boko Haram? ISWAP, and Fulani jihad bandits but it's wrong to grant an amnesty for those fighting for freedom in which 80% of them in prison wasn't even a criminal?

Regardless tribes or religion please always go with the truth as it should be. I know the northerners would not like that news but thank God soludo no need any of una papa authority to carry out the process.

Shut the Bleep up now before I shut it for you aboki

Mumu a State Government cannot grant amnesty to terrorists, only the Federal Government can, it should have said granted amnesty to disgruntled homegrown rascals.
