PDP Kicks Against The Threat Of State Of Emergency In Anambra State

The People’s has cautioned against imposing a state of emergency in Anambra State ahead of the November 6 governorship election in the state.

In a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja, he said the federal government has the power to maintain peace in Anambra, before, during and after the state election.

The PDP held that the reported move to foist an emergency rule in Anambra State was a ploy to suppress the people, manipulate the process and rig the governorship election for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate.

The party said its demand was predicated on apprehensions in the public space that the spate of insecurity in Anambra was contrived to heighten tension in the state so as to derail the democratic process.

INEC Takes Final Decision On Anambra Guber Election Today

The Independent National Electoral Commission will today hold an emergency security meeting in Abuja to take a final decision on the conduct of the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State.

There are fears that the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the state may hinder the conduct of the election.

Director, Voter Education and Publicity, INEC, Victor Ayodele Aluko, said that the emergency Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security meeting would among others deliberate on the way forward.

Asked if the INEC was considering postponing the election as a result of the insecurity in the state, he said the answer would come after today's meeting.

INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu had last Wednesday expressed fears over the worsening security challenges in the state.

However, politicians and residents of Anambra yesterday expressed hope that the election would hold as planned despite the security challenges in the state.

Gunmen Set Inec Headquarters In Anambra State On Fire

We move to Anambra state where the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission has been set ablaze by gunmen.

They also attempted to attack the Police 'B' Divisional Headquarters close to the INEC office but were repelled by the operatives on duty.

The office of the electoral umpire and the police station are both located in Awka, the state capital, in south-east Nigeria.

The incident, which occurred yesterday, is the latest in the series of attacks on police facilities and INEC offices by hoodlums in recent times in the region.

Although police authorities in the state confirmed the killing of two of the assailants during the gun battle, there was no information on whether or not any security operative was killed.

Eyewitnesses also said three Hilux vans fully packed with armed men stormed the police station and opened fire for more than one hour.
