Anambra State Police Commissioner, Garba Umar, on Saturday
said the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) cannot stop the governorship
election in the state.
Umar warned that the police would do whatever it takes, to
ensure there is a peaceful election in the state.
“The election has been fixed by relevant federal government
agency. Nobody can stop it. We have the capacity to provide a peaceful
atmosphere in Anambra State for that election.
“I have not heard from IPOB that it would stop the election,
apart from what was published in the media. But that is for the media.
“Nobody or group can issue such threat and succeed, because
we have all it will take to subdue such threat.
No group can do that. The
people of the state have the right to have periodic elections to choose their
leaders; nobody or groupcan stop them from exercising such right. We can’t
allow it. It’s no done.
“We are fully on the ground and we can suppress such
threats,” he said.
