Honourable Thaddeus Elukoha has commended Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, for his intervention in restoring peace and normalcy to Isseke community, urging Ndi Isseke to support his candidacy for President General of Isseke Progressive Union in the September 28, 2026 leadership election.
Speaking during a press briefing, Elukoha said Isseke had endured years of crisis that disrupted businesses and social activities, forcing many residents to flee their homes.
According to him, more than 50 people were killed during the period, while houses, markets, schools, churches, hospitals, roads, electricity facilities and boreholes were either destroyed or vandalised.
He, however, said the situation had improved considerably following the intervention of the state government and security agencies.
Elukoha praised Governor Soludo for responding to the community’s appeal by strengthening security in the area, including the deployment of security personnel and the establishment of a Forward Operating Base.
He noted that the improved security situation had enabled residents to return home, businesses to reopen, and schools, churches and other social activities to resume.
The aspirant said he was personally involved in efforts to reclaim Isseke, including mobilising youths to support the restoration of peace and stability in the community.
He described the governor’s intervention as a major step towards reviving Isseke, but appealed to the state government to extend the rebuilding efforts to roads, electricity, markets, schools and hospitals.
On his ambition, Elukoha urged Ndi Isseke to vote for him as President General of Isseke Progressive Union on September 28, saying his experience in the community’s struggle had equipped him with the knowledge and commitment required to provide effective leadership.
He pledged to prioritise peace, unity, security, infrastructure and the welfare of the people, while urging all candidates and voters to ensure that the election was conducted peacefully, transparently and in the best interest of the community.
