Governor Chukwuma Soludo has called on Ndi Anambra living in Abuja to support and partner his government in its effort to take back the State from criminal elements.
Governor Soludo who made the call during a dinner with them revealed that the rising insecurity in the State is being perpetrated by criminal elements and no longer political agitators.
He said that such criminals have now turned kidnapping, killings and other forms of criminality to business enterprise because of the huge sums of money they make from it.
Professor Soludo revealed that the criminals have become more daring as they have constituted themselves into a parallel government collecting taxes and levies from the citizens of the State.
Governor Soludo said the state government cannot fold its arms and allow such criminals continue to hold the State and the people to ransom and called on wealthy Ndi-Anambra to donate generously to the Anambra State Security Trust Fund which has been set up to raise money in combating insecurity in the State.
He stated that government alone cannot provide all the resources needed to effectively combat the rising insecurity in the State.
Governor Soludo also made a presentation to the audience where he outlined the activities and other strategies being put in place to reposition Anambra into a livable and prosperous homeland for people living and doing business in the State.
He appealed to them to invest at least fifty percent of their investments in Anambra State as a way of boosting the economy of the State.
The dinner was well attended by Ndi Anambra in the Federal Capital Territory who also donated generously to the State Security Trust Fund.
