He said the state government under his watch would ensure justice for the dead to please their families.
He noted that the criminal gunmen and their sponsors had being exposed and assured that every promise he made to the people of the state would be actualised.

“We have launched a campaign to restore our homeland. Most people can attest that the grave insecurity is gradually being contained and we remain undaunted.
“Even as I speak to you now, something is going on in various communities in Anambra State.”
