From Sodiq Omolaoye, Abuja

The Federal Government has said it would not allow any separatist group to disrupt the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra state.

National Security Adviser (NSA), Major General Babagana Monguno (Rtd) gave the warning at a meeting of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security, (ICCES) in Abuja, on Thursday.

Mugono spoke against the backdrop of some of the recent activities of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) in the Southeast.

In May this year, unidentified hoodlums carried out series of attacks on government facilities, including setting ablaze the headquarters of INEC in Anambra.

Though the police accused members of IPOB of being responsible for the attacks, the group vehemently denied such allegation.

There are also fears that the separatist group may call on residents of the state to boycott the November 6 governorship election.

But Mungono, represented by Sanusi Galadima, warned that government would not tolerate any group or persons to disrupt the poll.



He said: “With the prevalence of security threats occasioned by different dissident separatist groups in the Southern region of the country, who are bent on scuttling efforts of government in achieving national cohesion and undermining the democratic processes in the country, the Federal Government of Nigeria will not tolerate any group or persons planning to impede smooth conduct of elections.

“While acknowledging the constitutional rights of citizens to freely express their legitimate grievances within the ambits of the law, it is also important to state that the Federal government will not abdicate its constitutional responsibility of securing lives and property as well as a secure environment for citizens to pursue their legitimate means of livelihood”, he stated.

The NSA, therefore, assured of robust security deployments to countering any threats and ensuring peaceful conduct of the elections.

In his welcome address during the meeting, Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, said the commission had made arrangements to replace materials that were lost during the attack on its office in Akwa.

He said plans were also underway to rebuild the physical facilities which, he said would be completed before the election.

Click like for Buhari and share for IPOB

I see thehe elections in Anambra will holding, I see a winner emerging, I see a new governor in Anambra state.

This I have seen.

OK

You mean a government that can't organize a good Tailor is threatening an organized group?

Nigerian Army should smoke them out

Na wa!

Monguno is a stupid idiot! IPOB is the people and the people are IPOB. If the people say they won't leave their houses to vote, will you force them to vote? Voting is an OBLIGATION and not a duty, useless fool.

A cheap paid agent posted a photo of Endsars protest and tagged it 'buhari in Imo photo' but he was bursted quickly by members of the KOKORO POLITICAL SCHOOL!

Better

Who has ear let him hear.

If they boycott election, APGA will easily win because all the current government structures in Anambra with security are APGA

SOLUDO IS THE SOLUTION


One idiot who who is my car mechanic sat at home on Monday and today is begging me to lend him money to sort himself/family out, I tell am we are sitting at home until Buhari carries plate and start begging for food in the street of Daura.


Iberibe n'enye onyeara morale.

Lol

Watching this season film in 8k resolution.

After seeing what happened in Imo State today, I'm ashamed on behalf of "the presidency" for releasing such statements.

Is it so hard to understand that Igbos don't like or respect anything Buhari or "Presidency" or Nigeria itself?

But then, potatoes have to potate. Somebody whose job title is releasing such statements must do what he must do to justify his salary. Things are already hard for people with jobs, now imagine being without one.

They are nothing but bunch of online cowards...they cant do anything but kill themselves Nyamiri flat head people from the HIV and Erosion ravaged region

Dey don dey panick because of wetin happen in IMO today.

Keep quiet Monguno.

Yawn

The battle line has been drawn.

Let's suspend dis issue for now, until we find out the Tailor behind dis Trauser.

It only takes a sit-at-home order from IPOB

Who is the stupid federal government? I hope it's not this animal

You will have to bring polling units to our house after failing us .Una never see nothing this our own revolution

Good

Useless FG led by a lifeless bigot & his useless vice.



Yeye dey smell like the armpit of the zombie below.

NDI Ara Nwuru anwu!
