Southeast: Dousing fears and threats ahead Saturday’s elections

Since Saturday, 25 February, in which “structure-less” Labour Party (LP) created a major upset in the Southeast, the relative peace in the zone seems to have taken a flight as political actors make desperate plans for the March 18 governorship and State House of Assembly elections. There are fears and threats of war in the polity.

While, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi states would be voting for fresh governors and lawmakers, Imo and Anambra states would only vote for members of the State House of Assembly. Enugu would have additional responsibility to vote a senator for Enugu East Senatorial zone.
