Anambra state governor, Charles Soludo, has sparked reactions over his Easter message where he stated that “headless mobs killed Jesus”.
An Easter message by the governor, which was posted on his official Twitter page, had wished Anambra people a happy Easter celebration but added that a headless mob killed Christ because of their emotions, which collided with the truth embodied by Christ.
Soludo had in a piece written in November 2022 described Obi’s supporters as a headless mob, fueling the insinuation that the use of the words again in today’s Easter message may have been in mockery of Obi’s supporters known as OBIdients.
The comments had fuelled anger among OBIdients who reacted by attacking Soludo in the comment section of his post on Facebook.
The message posted by the governor on his timeline read: “Christ is risen, hallelujah! Our Lord brought the inconvenient truth about salvation.
“The headless mob mocked, condemned and crucified Him. Some 2000 years after, the truth, embodied in the risen Christ and His message of salvation and eternity, still endures.
“History teaches us and the experience of our Lord confirms that whenever strong fleeting emotions collide with the truth, emotions triumph temporarily but ultimately the truth prevails.
“May the resurrection power encourage all those with the wisdom and courage to stand up for the inconvenient truth at all times. Truth will always prevail. In the end, no history book has ever been written in honour of the emotive critics or the headless mob.
“May Anambra and Nigeria always win. Happy Easter to us all!”

You are so poor, all you have right now is money (access to money).
You just don't know when to draw the line.
If not for poverty of virtue, why would you play politics with Easter, the most important event among Christians.
Get help on proper management of your emotions sir. https://t.co/9XuyynvSnM— Chris (@ChrisRizzy) April 11, 2023
You can be a professor in Keynesian economics and be completely illiterate in history. That is quite understandable. But, how can you be so daft/ignorant to what the Synoptic gospels wrote about the Crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth after being a Catholic for more than 50 yrs? https://t.co/Gm8Bk0mJQR

One thing I can vouch my life for is this man will remain a one term governor, the same obidents you’re insulting were the ones who voted for you to become governor today. We will send you packing after your first tenure, keep talking like a clown that you are, we shall see. https://t.co/SZi8eFmCAB

Seat Soludo, it was corrupt leaders that framed Jesus up for death. They and their cult led it.
Maybe you can enroll in a Bible school. It will also take away the deep hatred you have for Peter Obi who has only shown you nothing but Christlike love. https://t.co/ZQqEgdeb7L
