Governor Soludo recalled that a good number of communities in Anambra had caretaker committees when his administration came into power but under his leadership, they ensured communities conducted proper elections through the use Option A4 which so far has taken place in 110 communities. 


He emphasized that Anambra strictly operates under the traditional rulers' law, warning that anyone who is guilty of carrying themselves as traditional rulers when they are not recognized by the state is sanctionable under the law with a minimum of six months imprisonment.


The Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, Mr. Tony-Collins Nawbunwanne pointed out that before now, there were lots of crisis in many communities in the state that range  from 20 to 30 years.
