Buhari orders “overwhelming” Anambra state with security men for poll success

President Muhammadu Buhari has enjoined the security agencies to stamp their feet of authority and ensure the success of the Anambra governorship poll on 6 November.

The National Security adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno said the president was reacting to the heightened security challenges in Anambra, orchestrated by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

“The President has directed that under no circumstances will anything be allowed to stop the elections from taking place successfully. The people have a right to vote and select their leader”, Monguno said.

“No group or individual will be allowed to stimulate anarchy and chaos, leading to murderous activities.

“The President has made it very clear that the Armed Forces and all law enforcement agencies must make sure that the elections take place even if it means overwhelming the entire environment with the presence of security personnel”, he said.

“There are so many implications for elections to be sabotaged by non-state actors.

“In the first place, we are in a democracy, secondly it is important to note that if these non-state actors should succeed in destroying the potentials for orderly elections, then it is natural that other parts of the country would also want to copy this same situation.’’
