Before Gov Obiano, Anambra was known as the State that defied all security approaches to remain tops in criminal ranking serving as the hub for all sorts of crime in South East Nigeria.
Past governments and ndi Anambra engaged every available means to cleanse the State, yet to no avail... There were "Boys O Yeah!"; "OTA Boys"; "Bakassi Boys"; etc, yet no solution!
But today, Anambra is rated as the Safest State in Nigeria with "breaths of safety" spreading to the neighbouring States... Within 3 years of #ObianoEffect!
