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.

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.

Main reasons I hate you guys, no respect for elders, you guys throw insults to who ever disagrees with your stupid ideologies, this is a woman loved by all in Igbo land, you are throwing insult to because she advised Anambrians to vote, I know if it was Ikemba that advise Anambrians to come and exercise their franchise you will ask him if he is stupid? when Ojukwu was alive he never advise any state in southeast to boycott governorship election, majority of you guys think straight no conscience.

We are in democracy and if people don't come out to vote which is called "Civil Disobedience" there will be nothing like "state of emergency",
Anambra state house of assembly is still in session so the speaker will be sworn in as the acting
governor according to the law.
Then the next six months another election will be held.
Why should I respect someone who doesn't even know the constitution of her dear country?

That's why I said you guys think straight, you are very ignorant of Nigeria constitutions, 2019 use your state as an example not Anambra we will vote and nothing will happen, I believe in Biafra not you guys style abeg.

Am not an IPOB member but that doesn't mean I shouldn't support them.
I won't sabotage nor betray the struggle, its all stage by stage.
Lets try this one first and see.
I don't wanna be among those that castigated Nnamdi Kanu but never came up with any other strategy or idea.
Have you not been voting for years?
We've been voting but nothing has changed.
We've tried voting, it didn't work, lets try boycotting.

They don shit for body

Stella, you and your family and friends and associates can go and que up and vote next Saturday. The same with your political rivals and their families and friends and associates.
It's high time you guys labour for the booty of office.

The man you are arguing with benefits from the current government. So it's in his interest to see that his principal wins.
But like I said earlier, this election should concern the political class, the political jobbers, their families and friends. They should go out there and exercise their franchise. Afterall they benefit hugely from skewed system.

Truth is, IPOB do not have the slightest interest in the welfare of the Igbo man. All they care about is to spite Buhari and Nigeria.

They rather prefer a state of emergency is declared (and there is a state of anarchy) in Anambra to having a peaceful election so they could brag they have power.

They have not yet tested legitimate power but are already drunk with it, acting as authoritarian who order others around without questions.

How can a man claim he is fighting for peace and justice for his people when his actions show the direct opposite?
