The Labour Party gubernatorial aspirant, Valentine Ozigbo, has faced criticism for his negative remarks about Anambra State, which many see as a desperate attempt to gain political mileage and become the state’s governor. His comments have been condemned as a cheap shot at discrediting the state government.

According to Christian Aburime, the Chief Press Secretary to the Anambra State Government, Ozigbo’s only path to attaining his ambition is through malicious condemnations rather than articulating solutions.Aburime averred that Ozigbo has become a fellow traveler to misguided religious leaders who are unfatherly pontificating on security matters.

He said Ozigbo’s recent comments on security show the kind of selective outrage that undermines constructive dialogue about public safety, as the government has tackled the criminality in Anambra to place it among the least crime states in the Southeast region.

The low crime rate in the state, according to Aburime, is evident in the peaceful celebrations experienced during the yuletide period.

This underscores the unveiling of the state’s security network,  ‘Operation Udo Ga Achi” (Peace Shall Reign) to checkmate criminal activities in Anambra.
