Igbokwe Hails Soludo Over Plan To Stop IPOB Activities

Joe Igbokwe, aide to Governor Babajide Sanwo-olu of Lagos State, has commended Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State for setting up a peace commission to stop the activities of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Naija News had earlier reported that the Anambra governor had constituted a 15- member Truth, Justice and Peace Commission that will seek a restorative justice approach for truth-telling or real facts.

Soludo stated that the commission will seek a justice approach for the healing of the victims of the violence, accounting for responsibility and accountability of the actors among others.

The governor, however, gave the commission a six-month timeline to conclude the assignment from the date of inauguration.

Reacting in a post on his Facebok page on Wednesday, Igbokwe appreciated Soludo for addressing the activities of the outlawed group in the South East.

The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), however, called on the people of the South East to support the governor on the decision.

“This is a great move. Gov Soludo should be supported by every Igbo man that has igbo blood flowing in him,” he wrote.

This news medium reported that the Truth, Justice and Peace Commission will be headed by human rights activist, Prof Chidi Odinkalu with Amb. Bianca Ojukwu as Secretary.

Other members of the committee as Mr Charles Oputa (Charley boy); music icon Onyeka Onwenu; Dr. Joe Nwaorgu; Dr. Udenta Udenta; Dr. Uju Agomoh; Rev. Fr (Msgnr); Jerome Madueke and Canon Dr. Okechukwu C. Obi-Okoye.
