The All Progressives Grand Alliance has reacted to comments made by opposition parties in Anambra state particularly members of the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, over the recent killing of two policemen last Thursday.
The incident happened at the Uga roundabout, Aguata Local Government Area of the state on Thursday.
The members of the South East Youths Leaders and other opposition groups while condemning the incident issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the state governor, Prof, Chukwuma Soludo to resign, for his inability to tackle insecurity in Anambra.
But in a statement on Sunday, the National Coordinator, APGA Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, insisted that Soludo has done well in the area of security in the state.
The party stressed that anybody using the incident at Uga to call for the resignation of Soludo is behind that incident and should be invited by security agents for questioning.
He said, “Whenever you see security issues being politicised, know that those behind the politicisation are the sponsors of the insecurity.
“In our reaction to those calling for Soludo to resign over insecurity in Anambra, we will also call for their arrest, especially the leadership of the Coalition of South East Leaders.
“We are of the strong belief that the group knows something about the unfortunate incident that happened at Uga few days ago hence their reason for playing politics with it.
“Outside that Uga incident, Anambra was peaceful throughout this Christmas celebration, so for any disgruntled element to use the incident to play politics is unacceptable.
“Soludo has dealt with insecurity in Anambra State, and he deserves commendation for achieving that feat. If we go by Anambra Police Command’s report on the Uga incident, I will say that our police officers deserve commendation for foiling what was obviously a kidnap attempt at Uga.
“It was unfortunate that two police officers lost their lives but the bravery exhibited in chasing away the unknown gunmen that obviously came from Imo State is commendable.
“Everything is not politics, and the worst thing anybody can do is to politicise the issues of insecurity. It’s not done in a sane clime because security is everybody’s business.”
