In order to ensure the sanctity of the November 6 governorship election in Anambra state, The Federal government indicated that it was prepared to impose a state of emergency in the state. This was said by The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami. In response, Anambra Governor Willie Obiano disclosed that the threat to the declaration of a state of emergency in the State was not President Muhammadu Buhari’s idea. Obiano disclosed this after a meeting with Buhari in the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He said he reported  Malami, to the President on the matter. The Governor also described the threat as unfortunate, wondering why he had not contemplated the imposition of emergency rule in northern States during massive killings occasioned by banditry. However, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) condemned the plan, saying that it was a ploy by the APC-led government to rig the governorship election. The Commissioner of Information in Anambra State, Don Adinuba, also spoke against the threat, stating that Anambra has not experienced the level of killings recorded in Kaduna, Borno, Zamfara and other Northern states where bandits have murdered many citizens. However, The National President of the Middle Belt Forum, Bitrus Pogu gave a suggestion, saying that instead of a state of emergency, the election should be shifted to a later date. 

Don C. Adinuba, Anambra State Commissioner for Information & Public Enlightenment and Tunji Abdulahameed, Legal practitioner joined us to discuss.
