Fr. Nonso, had described Soludo as a wicked soul, a reprobate, and one who rejoices when calamity befalls the people.<\/p>\n<p>Comrade Obi, who condemned the use of such words against the governor, gave Obimma one week to apologize to Soludo\u2014an ultimatum that earned him a curse from the priest, who pronounced a death sentence on him.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing a press conference on Tuesday in Awka, Obi said: \u201cIt\u2019s been over a week since we called on Fada Ebube Muonso to apologize to Soludo for the use of inappropriate words against him, and we are here today again to urge the priest to do what is right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is my son, I\u2019m over 60, and if I married earlier, I should have his mate in my house, so I\u2019m here to call on him as my son to apologize. As for his curse, let me make it known that it does not scare me, neither am I afraid of death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governor of Anambra State is an institution and cannot be addressed with such condescending words as wicked, reprobate, and all that. We are giving the priest another chance to apologize.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked what he would do if the priest failed to apologize, Obi said: \u201cHe should continue his criticism within the boundaries of decency. He has the right to criticize, but must do so decently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe must apologize, unless he wants to offend the Holy Spirit. I want to apologize to him for saying I would invade his prayer center if he did not withdraw those words. I\u2019m too refined to do that. I only said it in anger, so he too should apologize for the way he addressed Soludo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEbube Muonso is free to express his frustration about security. I have too, but the way he did it was my problem, and that is why we gave him an ultimatum to apologize. I stand by that and think he should apologize. The governor is an institution. I have a concern with how he attacked the governor, and I insist that he apologizes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The activist said he has had his fair share of insecurity and has criticized it at various times, but not with vile words. He said that, currently, the governor was doing well and should be given a chance to implement his policies, while insisting that no one was funding his support for Soludo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one is funding me. What I\u2019m doing is what my spirit is telling me to do and how to do it. I commend Governor Soludo for what he is doing. We have gone around and seen what he is doing and decided he is working.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on those who want to challenge Soludo in the governorship election not to do so, as it will be a waste of time. Instead, they should channel these resources to the Anambra Security Trust Fund to secure the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addressing those who described him as an emergency activist, Obi reeled out his profile in activism, starting from his advocacy for local government elections, improvement in power, and others, insisting that he has paid his dues in the world of activism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
