Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo has claimed that his administration’s fight against insecurity has yielded the desired results as eight local government councils that were under the control of criminals were liberated.
He said the peace enjoyed during the February 25 presidential and national assembly elections in Anambra was a result of the security efforts put in place by his government.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, the governor said the secure environment created by his government was what allowed Anambra residents to come out in their numbers and confidently participate in the presidential election in the state
Soludo therefore called on Anambra people to support his government by voting candidates of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the March 18 House of Assembly election.
“Before now, not many people would have come out to vote, because of the security situation.
“Anambra people know that Governor Soludo is working very hard, and for them to sustain such work, they need to support the party of the governor.
“For those thinking that Soludo did not support Obi, they have to know that the governor did not interfere in the election, like some governors did, or even try to coerce anyone,” he said.
Soludo said he predicted openly that Obi would win Anambra, adding that the governor did not do anything to thwart the wishes of Anambra people during the election.
