Buhari meets privately with Anambra governor, Willie Obiano [PHOTOS]

Nigeria’s President Buhari had a closed-door meeting with Anambra state governor, Willie Obiano, at the state House Abuja this morning, October 7, 2021.

Obiano, during the meeting, tackled the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice for saying the Federal government might declare a state of emergency in Anambra state.

Obiano disclosed this to State House Correspondents after a meeting with the president in the statehouse, Abuja today October 7. He said he reported the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to the President on the matter.

Berating Malami for his comment, Governor Obiano said

“That’s a very unfortunate comment by the Attorney-General. Malami. Very unfortunate. I also reported that to the President and this is not in the books of the President because he knows that Anambra has been the safest state in Nigeria for seven years plus.”

He said he would call the Attorney General to express his mind to him over the suggestion, insisting apart from the recent security crisis, Anambra has been the most peaceful State in the southeast.

The meeting comes hours after the Federal government threatened to declare a state of emergency in the state following the heightened level of insecurity.

Meanwhile, Reno Omokri has reacted to threats made by the Federal government to declare a state of emergency in Anambra state following the worsening state of security in the state.

Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on Wednesday, October 6 announced the Federal government may declare a state of emergency in Anambra ahead of the November 6 governorship election.

Reacting via his Instagram page, Reno wrote

”Abubakar Malami’s threat to declare a state of emergency in Anambra may very well be the spark that ignites what he can’t put out. How can you leave Borno, Yobe, Kaduna, Zamfara and Niger (where Boko Haram controls 500 communities) and declare emergency in Anambra?

This is what happens when the government is so imbalanced that there is not a single Igbo in the National Security Council. Meaning there is nobody to defend their interests from people who see Igbos as a mere dot in a circle.
