		The exercise, which was a culmination of similar exercises to the party's councillorship, state houses of assembly and the Natonal Assembly was marked by classical intrigues as in the case of incumbent governors of Anambra and Taraba States and thrills with many of the governors returned unopposed.

		Anambra appears to be one of the states where corruption is most widespread and conditions in many other states are more stable, but last week's events may indeed be Nigeria's future if nothing is done.

		Quite a significant number of Nigerians believe that the state of emergency declared in Plateau State last week by President Olusegun Obasanjo could be repeated in one or two or three other states of the Federation.
		His acquiescence in the Anambra State political crisis which reached its apogee in the open air abduction of Governor Chris Ngige, and the eventual withdrawal of his security apparati by the federal police is another.
		This viewpoint is of utmost concern to me. I hold that a state of emergency cannot be declared in any other part of this country in the life of the Obasanjo administration apart from the one already in place in Plateau state.

		These defeated governors and their cronies are not ready to hand over the mantle of leadership of their respective states without first grabbing ‘parting gifts’ for their finally departing army of cousins, courtiers, consultants and contractors.
		The governor, the poor governor, like the poor mother in the Kanuri folklore had now lost his only beloved, his personal residence, and the people wept on his behalf—since it is graceless for those in power to weep.
		These governors and their cronies think that it is a way of making things difficult for their successors in office by bequeathing dangerously denuded public treasuries, and have forgotten that they are actually betraying monumental public trust.
