Sen. Stella Oduah (Anambra North) has urged
the people of Anambra to come out en masse
to vote in next Saturday’s governorship
election to avoid creating a vacuum of
governance in the state.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Sunday,
Oduah said that if the people failed to vote,
they would be giving room for a possible
declaration of a state of emergency.
Senator Stella Oduah
She explained that the Constitution did not
allow for a vacuum in any state and as such if
the current term lapses and a governor had
not been elected, then an administrator would
be appointed.
“Therefore if we fail to cast our votes, if we
fail to come out to vote and have a new
governor, what will happen is that the Federal
Government will provide an administrator and
declare a state of emergency.
“That is not what we want. It means that
democracy will elude us, who is governing us
would not be who we voted for or who we
desired.
“This is not about which party I belong to. It is
about saving our state, it is about making sure
that our youths, our women, our children have
a peaceful and enabling environment where
good governance and policies will strive.
“Therefore we must make sure that we come
out on the 18th and vote,” she said.
The PDP lawmaker also charged political
leaders in the state to call on their followers
to come out and vote at the November 18
exercise.
The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) had threatened Anambra voters with
death if they vote at the election.
They also vowed to disrupt the poll.
But in a swift reaction, the Anambra State
Police Command asked residents of the state
to go out en masse to exercise their franchise
on the day of the election.
Giving more reasons why Anambra people
must vote, Oduah said that the state had
enjoyed peace, stability and investments had
started accruing.
“What Anambra needs now more than anything
is peace, we need peace for progress, we
need peace for security, we need peace for
the development that is coming and that has
come.
“We do not need violence, we have had
enough killings, thank God we have security in
Anambra more than most states, we must
ensure that is sustained.
“Most importantly our basic human right that
is enshrined in the constitution that gives us
the right to choose who governs us must not
be denied us.
“We will be denying ourselves that if we fail to
come out and vote and protect our votes.
“I am pleading that all leaders come out and
tell their followers to ensure that they come
out and vote come 18th of November.
“We must not stay at home on the 18th, we
must exercise our civic rights,” she said.

The reasons anambra people should not vote on Saturday

1. U might meet your end as soldiers and policemen are fond of killing people there

2. Even if they win, they will not remember you

3. Its better u remain in your house and watch cos after election the next na selection
