"We are going to have a law in Anambra and that law will come out very soon, if you give approval with your name and handwriting where you are not supposed to approve, even if you retire 10years after, we will bring you, prosecute you and jail you"


The Governor maintained that law and order must be restored in Anambra for the sake of posterity.
