Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has called on Nigerians particularly those in leadership positions to protect the sanctity of the nation by upholding the Rule of Law.
The governor made the call when he briefed State House correspondents after a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to him, all citizens must condemn criminal activities whenever they occur and justice must be served on whoever is found wanting.
Speaking on the backdrop of Tuesday’s attack on the Nigeria Defence Academy Kaduna, Uzodinma said people must not take the laws into their hands no matter their grievance.
“The business of government is the protection of lives and property and we must act as a government and live up to the responsibilities of government.
“So, we try to maintain law and order and condemn illegal and criminal activities as well as make those who are apprehended to face the law.
Uzodinma, who is the chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council on Anambra Gubernatorial election, expressed optimism that the APC would win the election.
“You know our President, he will only encourage you, he doesn’t interfere.
“But we are in charge of the campaign; I’m the chairman of the council and the good news is that the political leadership in Igbo land, we have resolved to be part of the federal government so as to participate at the national level.
“So what we have decided to do is to ensure that we embrace the ruling party APC and we are taking the message to Anambra and by the grace of God Anambra people will embrace the message,” he said.
