In the briefing on Saturday, Mr Soludo discussed how he was addressing the insecurity that has ravaged the state since becoming governor.
The group said the immediate past government led by Willie Obiano used the committee to resolve cases that would have resulted to big conflicts
“I have written a letter of apology to Governor Soludo. As a peaceful person that I am well known for, violence has never been in my character.”
“Everybody knows that the state finances are not robust.”
HEDA in a statement said the governor must deliver on his promises and stay clear of praise singers.
The traditional rulers were reacting to a viral video showing Mr Obiano in EFCC custody dressed in red boxer shorts and a white T-shirt.
Mrs Obiano said she had approached Bianca Ojukwu for their usual friendly banter when she was slapped.
The Catholic priest’s exoneration of Mr Obiano contradicted available facts of the governor’s corrupt practices.
Part of the funds were also allegedly diverted to finance political activities in the state, the source further mentioned.
Mrs Ojukwu said she issued a dirty slap to the relentless former first lady after she attempted to remove her headgear.
