**Anambra POCACOV Chairman Urges Members to Remain Focused Amid Challenges**
The Chairman of the Anambra State Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Related Vices (POCACOV), **Hon. Kingsley Ezika**, has called on members of the organization across all capacities to remain steadfast to its core objectives and not be distracted by recent challenges.
Addressing stakeholders, Hon. Ezika emphasized that the primary mission of POCACOV remains the fight against cultism and related vices, which continue to endanger society and the future of Nigerian youths. He urged members to channel their energy towards constructive engagement and collective action.
“The core objective that brought us together is to tackle cultism and other related vices. We must avoid unnecessary distractions from other activities or programs,” he stated.
Hon. Ezika revealed that preparations are underway for an **Anambra State Summit** aimed at ending the menace of cultism. The summit, he explained, will bring together all confraternities for dialogue that would foster peaceful coexistence, reduce conflicts, and create opportunities for partnership with government and civil society for the common good of the Igbo race and Nigeria at large.
He noted that this summit will serve as the **first of its kind**, providing a platform to address the root causes of cult killings, while exploring the possibility of confraternities maintaining their registered platforms under the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). The goal, he stressed, is for these groups to uphold their mission and vision without hostility, but rather unite as a force to assist government and civil society in building peace and progress.
Hon. Ezika also solicited sponsorship and support from well-meaning Anambrarians who have the peace and progress of the state at heart, stressing that their contributions would help ensure the success of the summit and create lasting benefits for all.
Despite recent ripple effects within the organization, Hon. Ezika has tendered an apology over past misunderstandings and sought reconfirmation, maintaining his role as the leader of POCACOV in Anambra State.
He concluded by appreciating members for their commitment and cooperation, assuring them that the organization will continue to stand firm in its mission to safeguard the future of the youth. Hon. Ezika also serves as the Government on Security and Cultism.
