  • Decries Malami’s Emergency Rule Statement, Says Buhari Not In Support

Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, on Thursday, said that members of the ruling All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the state house of assembly were offered N100 million each to join the  All Progressive Congress (APC).

The governor spoke while debunking the insinuations making the round about the defection, saying that what happened was that the members were given N100 million each to join the All Progressive Congress (APC).

He said the members have refused to be bought and have, however, remained in APGA.

The governor, also lambasted the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami for suggesting a possible declaration of emergency rule in the state.

Obiono, made this disclosure while briefing State House Correspondents on the outcome of his meeting with the president in his official residence at the presidential villa, Abuja.

According to him, President Buhari has assured that he was only interested in free and fair election in the November 6 governorship exercise in the state, citing the example of his (president’s) numerous attempts to win election until his fourth try.

Obiano described Malami‘s statement as unfortunate and wondered why he had not contemplated the imposition of emergency rule in northern states where he observed there had been a lot of killings.

The governor said he would call the Attorney General to express his mind to him over the suggestion as he maintained that apart from the recent security crisis, Anambra state had been the most peaceful in the south east.
