The governor said: “Security at the national level must be given more attention. Different governors are putting in efforts to ensure their states are safe. There is a need for more collaboration between security agencies as we approach the 2023 elections. Elections can only take place in a safe atmosphere. We are even in the Governors’ forum engaging with presidential candidates on the issue to ensure that the conversation begins in earnest.”

He also reaffirmed the readiness of his administration to chase out criminals from the state.

“Insecurity in Anambra has come down considerably in Anambra. Security agents have decimated the infrastructure of terrorists. The state has been relatively peaceful. We’re unrelentingly pursuing perpetrators of criminal activities,” he concluded.
