The Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo has admonished residents of the state to stop talking down on the government and exaggerating insecurity in the State.
The governor offered the advice through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Christian Aburime, through a press release which was obtained by The Eastern Updates on Tuesday.
The CPS also emphasised the several drawbacks of exaggerating insecurity in any society.
He emphasized that insecurity is a global phenomena and not exclusive to Anambra State or one particular society because it exists in every state, region, and nation in the globe, including the developed ones.
He contends that no society can ever be completely safe, despite the fact that responsible governments make every effort to uphold their fundamental duty to protect people and property.

Aburime who also went national and international to highlight the various types of insecurity bedeviling different states, regions, and countries of the world, said the citizens of those places never badmouthed their states, regions, or countries to the outside world, while visitors, tourists, and investors never ceased travelling to and investing therein.
He, however, regretted that in Anambra State, the reverse is the case, as some citizens of the State are bent on disparaging their own state with exaggerated tales of insecurity and indulging in mischievous hyping up of terrifying insecurity to discourage visitors and investors.
While underscoring the need for Anambra citizens to refrain from indulging in the temptation to badmouth their state or spread exaggerated stories of insecurity; Aburime, who highlighted the various achievements the present administration has recorded in the fight against insecurity in the State, also called on the citizens to emulate the citizens of the countries who do not badmouth their countries but rather continue to play their own parts as citizens to ameliorate the diverse insecurity crises faced by their countries.
