Aburime in the release wrote: ‘This Christmas, Governor Chukwuma Soludo,
welcomes you home with open arms of assurances and unyielding commitment to security of life and property.
‘Anambra is no longer a dread zone, but a joyous haven embraced by peace, joy and goodwill this season and beyond.
‘As you are making preparations for travels and celebrations, it is possible that you remember those dark days in Anambra State when kidnappers ruled and fear of unknown gunmen shadowed every step, and you panicked. Calm down, because those dark days are gone for good in our state.
‘Governor Soludo has drastically reversed the security
situation in Anambra State. He raised a shield, establishing the Ministry of Homeland Affairs dedicated to security, re-strategizing with all organs of state security agencies, and empowering vigilant warriors.
‘Now, surveillance eyes are everywhere watching, joint security squads are patrolling the streets, and criminal shadows are fading.’
He added that the state government had also made adequate arrangements to ensure that traffic gridlock which used to be the nightmare of returnees as a result of festivities in communities is being taken care of.
