“Government aligns itself with the clarion call from the South-East governors advising all persons with grievances and anxiety to transmit their position through prescribed channels of elected representatives to the forum.

“Government is also firmly in support of the restructuring agenda as announced by the governors’ forum and encourages Ndi Anambra to articulate their thoughts to follow through on this issue.”

It added, “The safety of Ndi Anambra and all residents in Anambra, the security of their lives, properties and environment are cardinal priorities of the Willie Obiano Administration, which has ensured that everyone goes about freely within our environment without let or hindrance.
