My dear good People of Anambra state, it is another decision time. Do not joke with your future, do not scuttle election, and do not sit at home. Come out in your numbers and give your support to Professor Chukwuma Soludo, a Czar in Economics, a political pundit, and a genius of our time, for the progress of this beautiful state and for the general well-being of everyone. Nnamdi Kanu’s case cannot only be won but will also win the sympathy of countries of the world only by the power of superior argument in the court of law, and not by protests.
Think of the money that our businesses are losing each day that we sit at home, think also of the damages we are doing to ourselves, our children and to the economy of you and me. We are all witnesses to the high inflation rate, the job losses and the general hunger on the streets since we started sitting at home. Majority of our brothers and sisters can only find their daily bread by leaving home on daily basis for their various place of businesses and crafts. Yet you ask them to sit at home.
I was once dragged to a court by a certain government here in south east region on grounds of a baseless allegation, but I came out victorious through a legal process and not by any other means.
The Zik of Africa our father and brother though from a minority tribe was able to galvanize the nooks and crannies of Nigeria to ask for an independent nation from the British colonial Masters and got it without shedding blood through the power of superior argument. Barack Obama, despite the fact that he is of the discriminated race, defeated his white fellow contesters and emerged the first black man ever to become the President of the United States of America, only by the power of Superior argument.
Nobody will release Nnamdi Kanu nor give your Biafra if you boycott elections and continue to sit at home till infinity. This method of protest is simply shooting oneself on the leg or scoring an own goal.
This Sit-at-Home protest is counterproductive and will not yield any good fruit. Come out and vote and play your part in securing a better future for Anambra State, yourself and your children.
Please my brothers and sisters, let us do the right thing and not the wrong one; let us choose light and not darkness. While you listen to this voice of reason, go out to exercise your civic right, Vote Chukwuma Soludo and no one else.
