Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano has said that no individual, association or group can stop the state’s governorship elections scheduled to hold on November 18, 2017.

He stated this while addressing a crowd of supporters during his visit to an erosion site at Odume Layout, Obosi in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state.

He also vowed not to allow the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) repeat the mistake made by the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) when they persuaded and deceived most easterners to boycott the last national census.

“There is going to be an election on that day. Whoever says there will be no election is not carrying the interest of the people at heart,” Obiano said.

He continued: “We will not repeat what happened during the national census period in the years back in the state when those who called themselves MASSOB disrupted the exercise in Igboland and the consequence of that disruption led to rating our population figure very low which is what we are still suffering today because we were counted less than what we are”.

He further used the opportunity to solicit the support and votes of the electorate on the day of the governorship election so as to enable him sustain the good governance and massive developmental programmes which he inherited from Peter Obi.
