The Anambra State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Basil Ejidike has decried alleged cases of electoral malpractices in the governorship election conducted last Saturday. Ejidike alleged that the government of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the state manipulated the process to favor its party.
He stated this in a press release made available to newsmen after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had counted collated results from 21 local government areas. He said: “What is happening in Anambra is not an election but a 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 the All Progressive Grand Alliance (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 governments, but Willie Obiano and Charles Soludo through the instrumentality of corrupt-minded INEC officers subverted the whole process in favour of APGA. “We want INEC to cancel the election and fix a date for a fresh election devoid of manipulations and malpractices. But if INEC goes ahead to announce the results, we will definitely challenge the election process at the court of law, up to the Supreme Court. Nobody can intimidate us.”
