his being the Chief Security Officer of the State, he was
Saturday prevented from moving freely around the State
because of the governorship election.
When newsmen visited the Government Lodge, Gov. Obi
was busy treating his files. When he was asked while he
was not moving around, he disclosed that security men
asked him not to as a result of the curfew imposed on
the State for peaceful election.
Obi who however left the Lodge at 11:50 for
accreditation at his house in Agulu had to do so with
Police clearance. None of his security followed him as
police men on election duty escorted him to the place
and back to the lodge.
Obi who said he had no problem with the arrangement,
said he would support any measure taken to guarantee
free and fair election at all times.
He said though he had no idea while the restriction should affect him as the Chief Security Officer, but that it was part of the sacrifice for the sanctity of the electoral process.
Commenting on the restriction of Mallam El Rufai, Obi
who confessed to hearing about that for the first time
wondered why he left Katsina for Anambra State.
He saidthough the restriction affected everybody and should be understood as part of measures to ensure free and fair
election, he wondered why some Nigerians enjoy putting
up reckless behaviour that would only led to lawlessness.
