Dear Sir:
Now that Soludo's father is found
There were wild allegations as to who did the kidnapping of the 78-year old Chief Soludo, the father of the embattled former CBN governor and PDP candidate for Anambra 2010 gubernatorial election.
Chuma Soludo at the wake of his father’s kidnap commented thus in the media: “why kidnap my old man for sake of politics”? He then was determined that no matter what, he would not be intimidated out of his pursuit to govern Anambra come 2010. His remark made a school of thought suspect that Chief Chris Uba, the Anambra acclaimed political godfather, might have had hand in the saga.
Chris was invited by the Police for interview. This situation made Chris Uba angry and then he told Chuma Soludo to stop playing tricks aimed at attracting sympathy for his 2010 ambition; Chris asked him to bring out his father where he had gone to hide him.
Another case which was similar to this and which till today remain resolved was the kidnap of Pa Edet, the father of the Speaker of Akwa Ibom House of Assembly. It was strongly believed that the Speaker hid his father somewhere, breeding that he was kidnapped. The suspicion to that effect became riper when people noticed how he carried on as if his father was not in any danger. Till date no word has been volunteered by him or any other authority about what eventually is the situation with the saga. People are still asking to know the truth about what transpired.
With Pa Soludo out of captivity and was barred by family members not to relive his experience, many are yearning to know actually what the truth was. According to IG of Police, arrests were made of some suspects but with conflicting reports in the media; one of which alleged that one of the persons arrested claimed to be a Deputy Director in Soludo’s campaign organization. But the organization was quick to denounce him.
No one wants to tell the truth and the public is eager to know the truths.
