There has been so many brutal incidents that have happened in the administration of governor professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo since his assumption of office on March 17, 2022 that the governor has refused to condemn.
These brutal incidents were perpetrated by his Aides and political appointees but the governor’s silence and refusal to investigate, suspend and sanction the Aides and appointees involved in those acts shows they have his support to carry out such brazen impunity.
- On June this year during the teachers recruitment exercise by the Soludo’s administration, there were inhuman treatments and verbal abuse of job seekers by the Commissioner for Education, Prof Ngozi Chuma Udeh. There was a stampede at the venue of the recruitment due to improper planning, but rather than take responsibility for poor planning, the Commissioner transferred her failures to the applicants
Sadly, Prof Soludo backed her action and refused to sanction her.
- On July 2022, Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje was manhandled and physically beaten by the Anambra state task force while demolishing his church at Onitsha.
The video footage of Prophet Odumeje attracted condemnation online. Prof Soludo in his official Facebook handle condemned the assault but hours later, the post was deleted and pulled down from Facebook. It was gathered that the governor was unhappy that one of his aides could condemn the act with seeking clearance from him.
His administration backed the assault and physical beaten of Odumeje.
- On September 2023, one Peter Uduekwelu from Agulu was killed by the Anambra state revenue collectors. The state govt has not publicly condemned the act nor arrested the culprits for prosecution. It took a daily protest of Agulu community for police to order for investigation.
- Yesterday, there was a brutal attack with matchet on the driver of GUO motors. The attack was supervised by Hon Ossy Onuko, the ACTDA boss.
While the public was condemning the attack, the office of the governor issued a press statement backing the brutality and claiming that the GUO driver was reckless while overtaking the ACTDA boss on a high way.
This is a sign of tyranny. Prof Soludo should refrain from these excesses and restrain his boys to the tenets of democracy where human is treated with dignity.
