An activist and National convener of the Recover Nigeria Project (RNP), Comrade Osita Obi, has threatened to stormed the Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry Uke, Anambra state in protest, if the Spiritual Director of the Ministry, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obimma (Ebube muonso), failed to apologize to the State Governor, Chukwuma Charles Soludo, within a period of 14 days.
It was gathered that the ultimatum was as a result of the ongoing media war between the Minister of God and the governor over the worsen insecurity in the state.
It was also gathered that the media face-off started when Rev. Fr. Obimma, during his New message called on the governor to address the security condition or resign for someone else to address it.
Comrade Obi, in his further reaction while addressing a press conference in Awka, on Saturday, over what he described as unfortunate development, urged Fr. Obimma to support the governor to fight the ugly trend instead of attacking him.
According to the Activist, the situation has not reached the point where a highly respected man of God like Ebube Muonso would engaged the governor in a wide spread media war.
“To the best of my observation, no governor, since the returned of democracy in 1999, has done what Soludo administration is currently doing across the 179 communities that constitute the state within a space of two years and night months in office. I expected that the clergyman would have book an appointment with the governor or called him on phone to discuss on the way forward instead of resulting into a media war.
“Governor Soludo is a good man. He has listening ear. The issue of insecurity is the responsibility of every Ndi-Anambra irrespective of political, tribe, ethic and region affiliations. If Fr. Obimma think he has all it takes to address the situation more than Soludo, then he should pull off his cassocks and enter the political arena like his colleague who is currently serving as the governor of Benue State to contest the position. I am given the Man of God, 14-days ultimatum to retract his outburst and tender an apology to governor Soludo or I will personally stormed his Ministry to also pipped his activities in the Church,” the activist threatened.
While assuring that in no distance time the issue of insecurity will come to an end, Comrade Obi appeal to residents in the state to continue to pray for the governor to enable him actualized his vision of making Anambra a peaceful, secure, livable and prosperous state in Nigeria.
