Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra state, says the state is one of the safest in Nigeria following sustained collaboration between security agencies and local vigilante groups.
NAN reports that Soluko spoke in Abuja on Wednesday shortly
after meeting President Bola Tinubu at the State House.
The governor noted that Tinubu’s message on tackling
insecurity nationwide at the just concluded national economic council (NEC)
conference was emphatic and reassuring.
“The president’s message was emphatic, and we’re quite
excited to also listen to the president and his determination to stamp out
insecurity nationwide,” he said.
Soludo said the protection of lives and property is the
primary responsibility of government at all levels.
He added that tackling insecurity requires coordinated
efforts among the federal government, states, local councils, and communities.
He commended the security agencies for their contributions,
while also praising Anambra’s internal security framework, including the state
vigilante group.
“And we’re not resting, not one second,” he said.
Soludo said criminals held the south-east hostage for over
five years with sit-at-home orders every Monday, disrupting education,
commerce, and markets like Onitsha.
He added that traders have returned and pledged to
regenerate the market as a premier West African commercial hub.
This comes barely a week after the Anambra state government
announced the reopening of Onitsha Main Market for full commercial and economic
activities following a one-week closure.
