Anambra Election Boycott And State Of Emergency by TechRev: 12:38pm On Jul 20, 2017
Its very interesting to understand how the boycott of the anambra election by IPOB and adherents will lead to declaration of state of emergency in Anambra state.

According to the 1999 constitution

305. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the President may by instrument published in the Official -
Gazette} of the Government of the Federation issue a Proclamation of a state of emergency in the Federation or any
part thereof.
(2) The President shall immediately after the publication, transmit copies of the Official -Gazette of the Government
of the Federation containing the proclamation including the details of the emergency to the President of the Senate
and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, each of whom shall forthwith convene or arrange for a meeting of
the House of which he is President or Speaker, as the case may be, to consider the situation and decide whether or
not to pass a resolution approving the Proclamation.
(3) The President shall have power to issue a Proclamation of a state of emergency only when -
(a) the Federation is at war;
(b) the Federation is in imminent danger of invasion or involvement in a state of war;
(c) there is actual breakdown of public order and public safety in the Federation or any part thereof to such extent as
to require extraordinary measures to restore peace and security;
(d) there is a clear and present danger of an actual breakdown of public order and public safety in the Federation or
any part thereof requiring extraordinary measures to avert such danger;
(e) there is an occurrence or imminent danger, or the occurrence of any disaster or natural calamity, affecting the
community or a section of the community in the Federation;
(f) there is any other public danger which clearly constitutes a threat to the existence of the Federation; or
(g) the President receives a request to do so in accordance with the provisions of subsection (4) of this section.
