Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, the newly elected governor of Anambra State, has dedicated his victory in the state’s gubernatorial election to three police officers who were killed during a town hall meeting in his hometown.
According to NEWS DIRECT, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, was assassinated by unknown gunmen during a town hall meeting in his birthplace of Isuofia in the state’s Aguata Local Government Area in April 2021, killing three police officers.
Speaking on Wednesday morning after he was declared winner of the governorship poll, Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA said his victory calls for the remembrance of the slain officers.
Soludo, who prayed for the souls of the officers to continue to rest with the Lord, also lauded the Federal Government for allowing the people of Anambra State to make their choices during the election.
He said, “At this moment we must remember and must continue to remember all those who died during the course of this moment, especially the three policemen who were killed by unknown gunmen during our town hall meeting with youths in my ward. May God continue to grant their soul eternal rest.
“The election itself tested the integrity of our federal institutions. Many times there were tensions, especially as one party boasted that it must take or ‘conquer’ but the judiciary stood for the integrity of the judiciary”.
