We commends your relentless efforts in tackling insecurity,but marshal plan are needed to improve security architecture of the state.
Worthy of commendation is his Excellency desire to ensure democratization of Local Government System which is long over due.We reiterate our early appeal to Gov. Soludo and Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission to postpone the election to November to ensure adequate planning, enlightment of electorate and consultations with stakeholders.
