The Federal Government has vowed that the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State will hold even if it takes declaration of a state of emergency.

Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, announced this after the Federal Executive Council meeting.

Malami said the government will do everything possible to ensure the protection of lives and property.

The south-eastern state has been targeted by gunmen in recent times — leading to the loss of lives and properties.
