RAYMOND OZOJI reports
Former Governor of Anambra State Mr. Peter Obi has expressed sadness that Hon. Justice Chukwunenye Azuka who represented Onitsha-North 1 state constituency in the 8th legislature was gruesomely murdered for no reason.
Obi who stated this while responding to questions from journalists at the state assembly complex on Friday shortly after the valedictory session held in honour of the late Hon. Justice Chukwunenye Azuka, said the state is going through a difficult time where a promising young man with a feature was killed in cold blood for nothing.
Obi said that Hon. Justice Chukwunenye Azuka believed in a better state and a better Nigeria but was gruesomely murdered for no reason: that it is indeed a sad situation but they can not question God even though he was cognisant that the security situation in the country is something very worrisome and that citizens must work together to ensure that the situation changed.
The Labour Party presidential candidate reiterated that the entire country is going through a difficult time but insisted that with a collective resolve and the right things done in terms of pulling people out of poverty and investing in critical areas of development, Nigeria will be a better place for habitation.
Meanwhile the Senator representing Anambra-North senatorial district Sen. Tony Nwoye, Ex-Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters Hon. Mrs. Azuka Enemuo and some other high profile persons accompanied Mr. Peter Obi to the valedictory service in loving memory of the slain lawmaker Hon. Justice Chukwunenye Azuka.
Recall that the late lawmaker was kidnapped on 24th December 2024 in his neighborhood at Inland town Onitsha and just recently his decomposing carcass was discovered at the swampy area of the second Niger Bridge in Onitsha.
