Contrary to the news making the
round that the Anambra gubernatorial was free and fair, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has
called for the annulment of the election owing to electoral fraud.
When the call was made, the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) is still accepting the results from collation officers.
At the time of filing this
report, 20 out of the 21 local governments’ results had been declared by the
electoral adjudicator. Supplementary election has been slated for Tuesday in
Ihiala LGA where the election could not hold on Saturday.
In a statement, the Anambra State
APC Chairman, Chief Basil Ejidike,
stated it explicitly that the election was a fraud and accused the incumbent governor,
Chief Willie Obiano, and his party, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)
of manipulating the process.
Adding that his political party
would resist the rigging, Chief Ejidike said, “What is happening
in Anambra is never an election but big-time electoral fraud and malpractice.
We want the whole world to hear our voice that we will never accept the outcome
of the Anambra gubernatorial election.
“The candidate of APGA
and the sitting governor, Willie Obiano, manipulated the whole electoral system
and we’ll stand to resist it.
“Ndi Anambra wants an
APC governor and there’s nothing anyone can do to deny them that opportunity.
We virtually won in all the local government but Willie Obiano and Charles
Soludo through the instrumentality of corrupt-minded INEC officers subverted
the whole process in favour of APGA.”
