Reports indicate that even though  Soludo survived the attack, his whereabouts is not known. He seems to have been ferried into thin air, a source familiar with the attack told this magazine.

Remarkably, the gruesome attack happened in Soludo’s  community, Isuofia, in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The perennial Governorship aspirant was holding a meeting with the  youths of his  community when the fearless gunmen stormed the venue.

It is not known if the attack is political, but Soludo, as has been the case every four years since he joined politics, is poised to contest for the Governorship of Anambra State under APGA.

However, the insecurity in the State has badly deteriorated in recent weeks.

The former CBN Governor is  said to have the backing of the Governor, Willie Obiano. As a confirmation of the affinity between the two,  unconfirmed reports indicate that the Anambra Commissioner for Public Utilities, Emeka Ezenwanne,  was at the meeting with Soludo,  and was whisked away by the gunmen.

Weeks ago, reports which claimed that Soludo has been adopted by APGA as its sole candidate caused a ripple in the party. It was later denied, but a source told this magazine that Soludo would fly APGA’s flag.

He has been talking confidently on his chances, and promises to transform not only Anambra State, but the whole of the South-east if elected the Anambra Governor later in the year.
