Soludo: Criminals terrorizing Anambra want to enthrone idolatry over Christianity

Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, says criminals terrorizing Anambra State are fighting to enthrone idol worship over Christianity.

Professor Soludo stated this at the Second Session of the Sixth Synod of Anglican Diocese of Aguata, held at St James’ Church, Nanka, Orumba North Local Government Area on Sunday.

He said it is time for Christians in the state to unite to defend their faith in the face of evil, and quest to intimidate the people back into idolatry.

He said: “The last institution those causing mayhem in the state want to exterminate is the church, but they will not succeed.

“Anambra is a Christian state, and will never succumb to idolatry.”

There has been a resurgence of traditionalists in the state recently, with many youths resorting to fetish practices that have long been abandoned by their forefathers.

Soludo had earlier stated in a statewide broadcast that part of the strategy of the criminals was to instill fear in people, through traditional religious practices, which involve swearing people to oaths, and human sacrifices.

Soludo addressing the church however stated that following his recent declaration of state of emergency on criminal elements operating in the state, security forces are already taking the war squarely to the hideouts of those terrorizing the state, and most have been arrested.

“The quest to secure Anambra State is a collective fight. I urge ndi Anambra to report activities of those who have seen criminality in the state as a lucrative enterprise.

“Despite scanty resources, we are determined to give ndi Anambra a state to be proud of,” Soludo assured.

The firebrands in southeast should allow this governor to deliver on his promises

Hmm Professor Soludo is right seriously. The clueless unknown gunmen are clueless cultists looking for blood to satisfy their idols.

Huh...

You cannot pitch Christians against traditional worshippers in Igboland sir.

We give what belongs to Caesar to caeser and to God to God.

it can't work sha...The herdsmen aren't traditional worshippers,you didn't declare war on Islam.. be guided

Really!

Their Christianity killed 31Christians in Church Stampede in PH Yesterday.

It must happen that way

I no understand

Is this a joke

This is how dumb this idiot is

Before the missionaries arrived what did your forefathers practice Charles soludo?

This man should get to work on delivering infrastructure or resign

When people start to use religion or security as excuse it demonstrates an apparent lack of ideas

If soludo has no idea of how to run Anambra he should resign

If he has no idea how to raise taxes from individuals and businesses in order to pack refuse or build hospitals he needs to resign now and stop wasting people's time

God will not come down from heaven to build hospitals or renovate schools, people need to stop being dumbed by religion
