“If no one would give Soludo his flowers, those of them from these areas that are risk areas would”
Continuing Opara noted that this development is a credit to the Anambra state Homeland Security Laws made by the state government posting that in the coming elections of August 16th Anambra South Senatorial District by election and the November 8th gubernatorial election would be a hitch free.
” Anambra people are certainly seeing the benefit of the Homeland Security Law, signed into law in 2025 by Gov. Soludo”

“This is very fascinating and we can only proudly announce that, indeed, Anambra is on the rise”
“This has gone to prove the fifth columnist and the opposition wrong and send them to the cleaners ” he said.
Opara further stated that;
“People who claim to be contesting election are all over the place camping yet they go about criticizing the governor that we do not have security in Anambra state ”
“,We commend the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC for this report and that goes to vindicate the Anambra state government that Anambra state is free of crimes and criminality ” he said.
