- The DSS in the Anambra state assures the PDP chairman in the state, Prince Ken Emeakayi, that it is investigating Governor Obiano’s alleged threat against him

- Meanwhile, the senior special adviser to the governor on strategic communication and legislative matters, Mr Oliver Okpala, insists the allegations of Emeakayi have no basis

Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state is being investigated by the Department of State Services (DSS) for allegedly threatening the life of Prince Ken Emeakayi, the state chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Emeakayi had alleged that the governor threatened him for calling for his impeachment over constitutional breaches.

Emeakayi, in a letter dated March 7, said the governor issued the threat in a telephone discussion with him at about 8pm on Thursday, February 23, 2017.

The party chairman who visited the state headquarters of the police and DSS in Awka on Monday, March 20, told newsmen that the purpose of the visit was to enquire if his petition on the matter was received and action being taken.

On his part, the director of the DSS in the Anambra state, Mr Yusuf Isyaku, assured Emeakayi that the agency was investigating the allegation.

“I have respect for you, you would have come to my office, without coming with these people here today over the matter,’’ he said.

But in reaction to the issue, the senior special adviser to the governor on strategic communication and legislative matters, Mr Oliver Okpala dismissed the allegations of Emeakayi as having no basis.

The aide said: “When did mere telephone calls transform to violence? That is why I said they are neither here nor there.

“Since he has reported to the police and the DSS, he can now wait and see the outcome of the investigation.”

In other news, Kemi Adeosun, the minister of finance, on Monday, March 20, stated that the Federal Government would within 12 months carry out a detailed review of the claims submitted by the states as over- deduction on the Paris Club debt.

She said that while the states had all submitted their respective claims, President Muhammadu Buhari had reached an agreement with the governors that the reconciliation process be concluded within one year.

Punch reports that Adeosun in a statement issued by her meedia adviser, Festus Akanbi, explained that while the debt management office had initially requested for a period of 22 months to complete the reconciliation and facilitate disbursement; the president, after considering the plight of salary earners, directed that the exercise be completed within 12 months.
