Former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 6 governorship election, Andy Uba, of being the originators of insecurity in Anambra.
Mr Soludo, who is the candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for the coming election, made the accusation during the Anambra governorship election debate organised by Arise TV on Monday.
“Insecurity in Anambra started with the PDP government and orchestrated by my brother on the right hand (Andy Uba) kidnapping a sitting governor.
“It was a PDP legacy in Anambra. The violence, kidnapping in this state was started by PDP when my brother at the right-hand side (Andy Uba) was at the engine room stocking up all the fires,” the former CBN governor said.
He accused Mr Uba of being the mastermind behind the abduction of Chris Ngige, former Anambra governor and now minister of labour and employment.
Mr Soludo said the PDP and Mr Uba institutionalised the kidnapping of politicians in the state.
However, since the ouster of the PDP in Anambra in 2006, APGA has been in government but has equally not done much to rein in insecurity in the state.
