‘He was in very high spirits and we had quality and frank discussion in a very convivial atmosphere. He expressed sadness over what he described as “sacrilegious killings” of innocent persons, kidnappings and all forms of criminalities, including the brutal enforcement of the senseless “sit at home” perpetuated by sundry groups claiming to be acting for or on behalf of IPOB.
‘He assured that if the opportunity arises, he will be glad to personally broadcast to his followers to maintain the peace.
‘Together, we shall restore peace, security and prosperity in Anambra and the Southeast.
‘It is well indeed!’
