Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has urged citizens to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Eve with their families, reassuring them of the state’s security.
The message was delivered by Mr. Christian Aburime, the governor’s press secretary, who assured the people of the state’s steadfast commitment to guaranteeing the safety of people and property in all of its regions.
He said, “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—your own neighbours, trained and ready as Anambra Vigilantes.
“Now, surveillance eyes are everywhere watching, joint security squads are patrolling the streets, and criminal shadows are fading.”
The governor did, however, stress to the populace that everyone has a responsibility to maintain security. He urged the various communities to exercise caution.

He also urged the people, Presidents General of communities, and traditional leaders to work with the government and security services to protect the state.
He emphasised that this collaboration would enable smooth information sharing and intelligence collection.
He further said, “Thanks to our proactive leadership, streets once choked by touts can breathe freely again. Upper Iweka, Onitsha’s heart, now beats with newfound rhythm, free from the grip of fear. Christmas beckons, and joy fills the air.
“As security forces are standing ever vigilant and our roads are gleaming free of potholes, festive cheer will flow unfettered.
“Even the traffic will be dancing to a safer, smoother rhythm. The watchful eyes of Anambra Road Traffic Management Agency, ARTMA, will be guiding the traffic flow, while law enforcers will be standing guard against festive frenzy. Pedestrians can stroll freely, merrymakers can relish carefree celebrations, and Christmas markets can shimmer with delight day and night, untouched by shadows of fear.
