Executive governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano, on Wednesday warned the secessionist group, Indigenous People of Biafra to stay out of the state during the November 18 poll.

The governor threatened to go after anybody who would pose a threat to the poll, no matter how highly placed.

Obiano insists that there would be election in the state, said the pro-Biafra agitators had no powers in the law to stop the poll.

He warned those planning to disrupt the election to have a rethink or be ready to face the full weight of the law.

He said “We are going to go after them, we will deal with those who said there would be no election in the state decisively.

 

“People are free to vote candidates of their choice, you can see that in Anambra state today people now sleep with their two eyes closed,” he insisted.

 

IPOB had threatened that there would be no election in Anambra state and the entire South East zone.

It was also gathered that IPOB had planned to attack campaign rallies in the state to create fears in the people about the poll.
