Anambra Governor Soludo has applauded the joint statement. He underscored that Anambra, South East and Nigeria all suffer from a regrettable state of insecurity by claiming that Anambra has a different spirit from bloodshed and wanton violence, and has called for an end to all violent agitations while the dialogue continues.
For peace and security in the lands, the Governor noted that it is time for the good, the bad, and the ugly to be engaged differently and seriously without discrimination.
The governor said that the Monday sit at home is not a legitimate means to protest and anybody who enforces it will henceforth be regarded as a criminal. The governor also urged the Governors of the South East and every Nigerian to demand expeditious justice for Nnamdi Kanu, saying that justice delayed is justice denied.
