Prof Chukwuma Soludo, Governor of Anambra State, has been advised to consider some of his administration’s critiques of the state’s security as counsel.
Mr Emeka Ozumba, a public affairs analyst and Managing Consultant of Ozion Limited, believes that instead of wasting energy defending the current condition of security in the state, Soludo and his media advisers should accept it and try to secure the state.
Ifeanyi Orakwue Alias Hugeman recently chastised Soludo for urging Anambra indigenes in Lagos to move their investments to the state.

In response to the uproar surrounding the call, Ozumba stated that no one should be blamed for criticizing the government, especially since all Anambra people have a stake in the state.
He said: “Ndi Anambra are bound by collective destiny, and both the leadership and the led have highly invested in the progress and future of the state.
“No one should be constrained or heckled from adding value towards our common prosperity since we are all committed to finding the solution.
“The current situation in the commercial city of Onitsha is pathetic, and I feel oddly inspired to commend one Hugeman for his courage in putting the issue of security on the front burner.
“Rather than engaging in online tit-for-tat with Hugeman and his likes, the managers of information should see the video as a wakeup alert and advise those who prod them to attack to see reason in the use of temperance in language and engagement to win over the naysayers.”

Ozumba noted that security issues in Anambra are not new, but that Soludo’s predecessor used a hybrid strategy that safeguarded the state till the end of his tenure.
“Soludo in his wisdom has adapted and rejigged the Bakassi formulae in the mold of State Vigilante (AVG). Now that questions are being asked about the current system’s efficacy in some quarters, particularly Onitsha; the government and its lieutenants should neither fidget nor get unduly defensive since no one formula fixes the security madness forever.
“The government is advised to take the criticism by the chin, review the contents of the video and deploy measures appropriately to nip the menace in the bud.”
