The National Coordinator of APGA Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, has described the claim by Senator Ifeanyi Ubah on security as laughable.
He said Ubah was just breeding thugs for purposes of elections contrary to his claim of working to boost security in the state.
Obigwe stated these in a statement he made available to our correspondent on Monday in Awka, the Anambra State capital.
He said, “It’s laughable for the propagandists of ifeanyi Ubah to claim that he is doing anything on the security sector.
“The undeniable truth is that ifeanyi Ubah does not have the interest of ensuring that any part of Anambra South is secured at heart.
“What he is doing is breeding of thugs that he will unleash on the helpless people of Anambra South during election period.
“He must be told in plain language that Governor Soludo is not the type of leader he will usurp his duties and he is not the type of Governor that will allow him to undermine his office.
“He should know that as a Senator, he has limitations and that he will not be allowed to direct the affairs of any part of Anambra State in executive capacity because doing such is purely an usurpation of the powers of Governor Soludo.
“Governor Soludo has done a lot on the security sector and he is ready to welcome anybody that sincerely wants to support what his administration is doing in that sector.
“Anybody that sincerely wants to support the commendable efforts of the Governor in the security sector is expected to do that by donating to Anambra Security Trust Fund.
Obigwe added,”When ifeanyi Ubah claimed that he wants to support security in Anambra South but did not do that through Anambra Security Trust Fund, I said to myself that he is up to some mischief and not interested in the maintenance of security in any part of Anambra State.
“He knows very well that Anambra has an existing security architecture and that the right thing to do is to channel any security support he has to give to Anambra Security Trust Fund so that it will serve as a support in funding Anambra security architecture.
“But what ifeanyi Ubah is plotting to do is to raise his own militia that he will be using to terrorise Anambra South on election day.
“I say this because the shooting of Hon Chris Azubogu on the last election day is an eye opener.
OBIGWE’S STATEMENT READS FURTHER:
Those that saw what Ifeanyi Ubah did on this last general election day with the thugs he is breeding in the guise of security, confessed that if he is allowed to continue what he is doing that Nnewi and Anambra South is doomed.
Security is a serious business and not something that will be allowed to be politicised in the State.
We have a Governor that does not joke with security issues and he has done a lot on that sector.
If not for Governor Soludo efforts on the security sector, election would not have been conducted peacefully in Anambra South most especially, ihiala, Nnewi South, Aguata , Orumba North and Orumba South.
I always tell the propagandist of ifeanyi Ubah whenever I see them labouring in vain to give their pay master the credit of Governor Soludo commendable efforts on the security sector that what they are doing is what the igbo’s use to say that ” when a man finish fighting, a woman will start telling the story “.
The undisputed truth is that no part of Anambra will be allowed to be under the control of ifeanyi Ubah in the guise of securing the place.
Not even Nnewi because the prominent people in Nnewi will not be comfortable entrusting their security in the hands of ifeanyi Ubah.
They believe in Governor Soludo tested and trusted capacity to secure all parts of Anambra State.
Nobody is against ifeanyi Ubah political ambition but he will not be allowed to breed political militias in Anambra South.
Many other prominent people in Anambra are supporting Governor Soludo security architecture through donations to Anambra Security Trust Fund and constant communication with Governor Soludo as Chief Security Officer in Anambra but ifeanyi Ubah own case is different.
He is only interested in using the pretence of supporting security in Nnewi and Anambra South at large to be in firm control of government structures in the 7 local government that makes up Anambra South.
That is deceit of the highest order.
If such is allowed to happen, nobody is safe in Anambra South.
The propagandist of ifeanyi Ubah exposed his ulterior motive and that is my reason for exposing him the more.
It’s stupid of them to claim that Governor Soludo is supporting Monday sit at home and also claim that he removed Nnewi market Chairman because of ifeanyi Ubah efforts to stop sit at home in Nnewi.
Ifeanyi Ubah is not constitutionally empowered to exercise the powers he wants to be exercising in Nnewi and all parts of Anambra South.
He knows the right channel to follow to get things done but if he decides to do otherwise, he will be confined to where he rightly belongs.
We have only one Governor in Anambra and that is Governor Soludo.
The treatment meted on the sacked Nnewi market Chairman serves him right because every appointee of government is expected to know that he or she must be 100percent loyal to the government the appointee is serving.
Before the person doea anything, it’s expected that he informs the government.
I said 100percent loyalty and not 99percent because 1percent disloyalty can be disastrous.
Ifeanyi Ubah as a serving Senator know this but decided to manipulate the Nnewi market Chairman that was sacked recently.
Governor Soludo administration is ready to welcome support from any public spirited individual but the person must follow the right channel to give his or her support.
What the government will not tolerate is the politicisation of security issues in the State and another thing that will not be tolerated is the breeding of militia groups that will be used to terrorise the good people of Anambra State during election period.
Ifeanyi Ubah should do the needful of removing the hand of a monkey from the soup pot before it turns into the hands of a human being.
He must be told in plain language that Governor Soludo administration will not allow him to play politics with Anambra security because there is time for everything.
Governor Soludo is completely in charge and anybody that undermines his authority will have him or herself to blame.
