If at the end only 50,000 out of 2.1 million registered voters participated. then the boycott is successful. That is less than 3%.

I think APC were disappointed the Anambra didnt roll out a platoon of traditional rulers for Buhari like that shameless Dave Umahi did in Ebonyi.

Over 15 million for a plot of land that's is not even in Owerri , then you expect us to come back home and build ?

The price of land in the east is too much

I'm setting up a 50 hectares plantation in Ogun next year , I know how much I'm leading the land in a year trust me I won't lease a hectare for that amount in my home state imo state

With 2.5 million you can lease 500 hectares in Ogun ,Osun or oyo , even less in places like kwara ,kogi and benue ...
Leasing a plot of land in imo I was told over 20k a year and That's the cheapest I saw

And we say we want Biafra ??

letusbepieces:
I think u two are a disgrace, Anambra verus Imo, let me ask u, wat is the difference between the two.

In the whole south east, Anambra and Imo are the most close knit.

I am a product of the two states, my dad is from Anambra around the orlu/ogbaru area and mum is from around Owerri area.

If i have my way, i will make Anambra and Imo one state.(join only those two states together)

The Inspector-General of Police (I-G), Mr Mohammed Idris, said the withdrawal of the Aide Camp (ADC) to Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra was to prevent the re-occurrence of past experience.


IGP-Idris
Idris gave the explanation during Election Stakeholders’ Forum organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday in Awka.



Nwesmen report that Obiano had during the forum raised the alarm that he woke up on Tuesday morning to find that his ADC had been directed by the Police High Command to vacate him.

Obiano said that the directive had put his life in danger, describing the act as unacceptable and unfair treatment to his person and office.


The governor noted that his standing for re-election did not remove the fact that he was the Chief Security Officer of the state.

But the IG said the withdrawal of the ADC was based on the previous experience the police recorded whereby the military caught an ADC to an unnamed governor escorting a vehicle loaded with arms on Election Day.


“We do not mean anything bad to Anambra governor on this action; his ADC will be returned to him early Sunday morning after the governorship election on Saturday Nov.18.

“We have equally withdrawn all the policemen attached to political appointees, Local Government Chairmen and others in Anambra till after the election,’’ he said.

Idris said that the Police Force had deployed 26, 000 personnel, 300 vehicles, three helicopters and 15 gunboats for the poll.

The deployment of policemen and other security personnel, he said, was not to cause panic, but to give the people the needed protection.

INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu said everything had been put in place for the conduct of credible, free and fair election on Nov. 18.

Mahmood said that distribution of non-sensitive materials would commence on Thursday, while the sensitive materials would arrive the state via Akanu Ibiam International Airport,Enugu, on Thursday.

“I will like to use this opportunity to declare as untrue the earlier claim by some people that sensitive materials for this election were uncovered in a hotel in Awka.

“The sensitive materials will arrive through the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, and will be escorted like money to Awka by the Central Bank escort team on Thursday,’’ he said.

Chief Olisa Agbakoba, former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), on Tuesday, said President Buhari’s visit to the South East region after more than two years in power was very dishonourable and not aimed at addressing the alleged marginalisation of the region.

Speaking with INDEPENDENT, Agbakoba said the president having realised that election was around the corner was trying to warm his way into the hearts of Igbos so as to get cheap votes.

According to him, “I don’t think his visit will resolve the issue of marginalisation in the region.

“You ignored the South East since coming to power and now you are visiting after two and half years in office.

“The way I see it is that his visit to the South East is simply to look for cheap votes. I don’t see his visit as genuine.

“Where has he been all this while? Why didn’t he visit since he took power?

“Why now that he has started wearing suits and Igbo dresses again? I find his visit very dishonourable.

“After two and half years of ignoring the South East and marginalising the region, you suddenly wear Igbo outfit and you expect me to say ‘well done’.

“No, I won’t say that until I see something meaningful on the ground; not until I see infrastructural development, not until I see employment, not until I see the Second Niger Bridge will I agree.

“Seeing is believing, but right now, I don’t believe that his visit is genuine.”
