The spiritual director, Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry Uke, Anambra State, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obimma (popularly known as “Ebube Muonso”) has urged the state governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo to rise up to the challenges of bringing down the rising menace of insecurity pervading the state currently or resign from office.
Obimma, in his New Year 2025 message on Wednesday night at his Uke adoration centre in Idemili-South local government bemoaned the wave of insecurity in Anambra State, saying that the situation was horrible.
The fiery Catholic priest stated that the insecurity situation in Anambra State currently needs urgent action to stop it, stating that people are being killed on daily basis while several others are being kidnapped.
Rev.Fr. Obimma said, “Insecurity in Anambra State is horrible. And our governor must sit up. He can’t subject the masses to jeopardy.
“He is the chief security officer of the state. He can’t be passive. Urgent action must be taken as people are dying everyday. I cannot be silent again. The heaven is not happy. The Holy Spirit is not happy.
“ As you can see, people are dying everyday and he (Governor Soludo) is not doing anything. He should do the needful.”
Fiery Rev. Fr. Obimma continued, “It is a horrible situation. The situation is getting out of hand. I believe he collects security votes. Let him use it now to address the state security situation. Anambra State is turning to darkness under his administration.
“This is not time of using his media warriors to blow his trumpets. Whatever that worth doing is worth doing well. In all we do, we must remember that judgement day is coming. I do not need anything from him just for him to address the general well-being of the people. As a governor of Anambra State, he must come out because we voted for him to turn Anambra to Dubai as he promised”, the Catholic priest emphasised.
The priest, however, appealed to prominent individuals in the state to stop waiting for the government alone concerning the insecurity issues in the state.
He, rather, urged them to rally the government by facilitating convoking of a security summit to proffer solutions to the menace of insecurity ravaging the state.
“Our prominent individuals like Obi Cubana, Obijackson, Val Ozoigbo, Sen. Victor Umeh, Ada Umeoji, Arthur Eze n’ukpo, Flavour, among others are needed in this situation.
“Weak men run away when there is trouble. But strong men stay alone. They can come together now and contribute resources towards addressing the security situation in the state,” Fr. Obimma charged further.
