State of Emergency, APC’s plot to rig Anambra governorship election – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government to perish every contemplation of imposing a state of emergency in Anambra State in the build up to the November 6 governorship election. The PDP declared that the reported move to foist an emergency rule in Anambra State is a ploy by the APC-led government to suppress the people, manipulate the process and rig the governorship election for the APC and its candidate.

The PDP demanded that the APC and its administration should come clean on their roles in the sudden rise in insecurity in Anambra State towards the governorship election.

“This demand is predicated on apprehensions in the public space that the spate of insecurity in Anambra is contrived to heighten tension in the state so as to derail the democratic process to the advantage of the APC,” PDP declared.

The PDP insisted that the Federal Government has the capacity to ensure peace in Anambra before, during and even after the election, if it so desired.  “We, therefore, invite the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC Federal Government to be guided accordingly,” PDP said.

The Opposition party also charged the people of Anambra State to remain calm and alert as well as take steps within the ambit of the law to resist plots by the APC to derail the electoral process in its inordinate ambition to seize Anambra through the back door.
