Following the abduction of former member of the Imo State House of Assembly, Hon Ngozi Ogbu by non state actors and strict condition for his release, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has pleaded with the Government of Imo state and security agencies to respect the request made by the victim who is an elder statesman as a possible means to save his life.
Hon Ngozi Ogbu is a good man, peaceful, sincere, faultless and good governance campaigner. Seeing him die for committing no crime will be so devastating, worrisome and condemnable.
He has played developmental politics without grudge, rancour and acrimony. It will be undemocratic, wicked, insensitive and disheartening for government to ignore the request by Hon Ogbu for his immediate release to be able to rejoin his family.
Anyanwu maintains that “in a saner clime, the safety and freedom of an innocent citizen is much important to the government than any other project. While calling on relevant authorities to join hands to save Hon Ogbu from captivity, further expressed optimism that his release will go a long way to rate how government responds to the needs of its citizens”.
