Muric Lauds Gov. Soludo for stand on Killings, Raping in S/East – Thage

A defense group and human rights based on faith, The Muslim Rights Cress (Muric), praised the governor Charles Soludo of the State of Anambra for having connected the majority of kidnappings and killings to Anambra and in other states of the south-east to the criminals among the Igbo and not the Fulani as widely considered.

The governor declared him during an interactive meeting of the Town Hall with an ambruses indigenously in the diaspora. The program was held at the Metro Points Hotel in New Carrollton, Maryland, the United States of America.

The group “praised the governor for being frank and identified him as one who has the right qualities of a future Nigerian president”.

According to its executive director, Professor Ishaq Akinintola on Friday, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, according to his own words, said, ’99 percent of the kidnappers and other criminals arrested in the state since he hired an office three years ago were Igbos.

“This is a declaration of reference. It is truly an eye-aperture for all those who have followed the unfortunate episodes of kidnappings and killings in the south-east. We give Kudos to the Soludo governor for this honest affirmation. He is bold, deep and vast in the tank,” said Akinintola, adding that, adding that, adding that he refused to dance to the gallery and to hit the matter. Have a nice one is a Nigerian president in fulfillment.

“This accident has demystified the myth of the criminal Fulani which is more often not well banned among the Crenduloni Nigerians to stigmatize the rage of Fulani. On the contrary, we have always argued that the crime does not have ethnicity, no religion. The criminals are available everywhere, but many southerners have been confused in believing that all the relationships or use of the region can only trace to Fulanis.

Muric has urged other governors, traditional sovereigns and community leaders in the region to follow the good example of the Soludo governor speaking on this topic.

Akinintola said: “We must refuse stereotypes. We must treat Nigerian companions only on the basis of what we owe the rest of humanity, that is, openness, love and kindness.

“Soludo presents himself as a suitable candidate for Aso Rock in the near future. True national healing can only be under the leadership of a completely deit leader as Chukwuma Soludu.

“Instead of exhibiting disappointments and bitterness towards the Soludo Governor for his frankness, we advise the Igbo people to gather around the governor. The South-East has a desperate need for a leader who is respected at national level. Soludo has gained that national respect through good government and also with this accident related to Fulani.

“This is an indubitable presidential material that Igbos must cultivate to maturity. For us, anyone who has the ability to welcome all ethnic groups and all faiths is a great resource. Soludo is a treasure without measure.

“While we take a break, we accuse people from other parts of the country to avoid their anti-crooked prejudice. Innocent Fulanis has been attacked and killed in some parts of the country. The men of consciousness should pause and reflect on the killings and profiling of innocent men and women simply because they belong to a particular breed or religious. We must allow a good reasoning and the objectivity of not because of the emotions. women.
