The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has called on the federal government of Nigeria not to toy with the idea of declaring emergency rule in Anambra state, IgbereTV reports.
In a press statement in Abuja Wednesday and signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Tex Okechukwu, APGA described the threat as uncalled for since Anambra has ranked for over 7 years now as the most peaceful state in Nigeria.
It questioned the rationale behind the idea of planning to declare a state of emergency in Anambra state with less than one month to the governorship election when it was yet to do the same in worse states such as Borno, Yobe, Kaduna, Niger, and Nasarawa.
The party advised the federal government to look inwards and unmask those fermenting trouble in the state, instead of taking a decision that would cause more harm than good to our democracy.
