Soludo explained that Anambra and indeed the South-East region pride themselves as republicans, which he said entailed freedom to canvass for votes in the region without intimidation, reiterating his position that people should be allowed to canvass for votes and allow people make their choices.
The governor added that as an itinerant people, Ndịgbo could afford to be an intolerant tribe, stressing that people need to start looking beyond the election and focus towards hardwork of building a better Nation rests.
