Rep Member Advocates Collective Action Against Insecurity

By Chukwuka Ugokwe :
The Member Representing Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Hon Chris Azubuogu has called for a collective effort by stakeholders and citizenry to overcome security challenges across the the nation.
He specifically enjoined residents of the Anambra state to unite and support the present administration to fight violent crime currently ravaging the state to a standstill, even as he recalled how his convoy was attacked by yet to identified gunmen a year ago.
“Exactly a year today, (September 30, 2021) my convoy was viciously attacked by unknown assailants at Nnobi in Idemili South LGA, Anambra State in a swift operation in which I was believed to be the principal target.

“As God would have it, I was not in the convoy which was coming to pick me from the airport. Quite unfortunately though, one of the drivers in the convoy, Mr. Ikechukwu, was killed in the attack. May his soul continue to rest in peace. Amen!”

“It was traumatic each time one remembers that a young man who strive to feed his family from proceeds of a legitimate job was killed by heartless criminals who take liberty in destroying what they cannot create..

“Each time I mull that attack, I couldn’t help but wonder what could be the gain for people who have developed the penchant to waste human lives they cannot create.”

“There is no gainsaying that violent crimes is a societal plague which spread or sustenance leaves everyone unsafe. It endangers society at large and we can only defeat the scourge when we stand and work together. We must therefore unite in supporting Mr. Governor’s effort and resolve to end insecurity and violent crime in our dear state.

“While I continue to mourn my late driver who was killed in that attack, I also thank God for sparing the lives of others, the injured and myself inclusive..
