INEC Set To Declare Obiano Winner Anambra Gov Election by proudly233: 11:29pm On Nov 17, 2013
Mr. Willie Obiano


Chief Willie Obiano, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in last Saturday’s governorship election is set to be declared winner of the election.

Obiano was leading in 20 local government areas results received so far. But INEC has deferred declaration of all the results till when the results from Idemili North Local Government Area are collated.

A rerun was held in 65 wards in Idemili North on Sunday. Election was cancelled in the 65 wards because election materials could not be delivered there on Saturday.

But three political parties and their candidates have already called for the cancellation of the election, alleging widespread irregularities.

The parties are the Peoples Democratic Party, the Labour Party and All Progressives Congress, which also boycotted the rerun declared in the 65 polling units in Idemili North Local Government Area on Sunday.

The candidates for the three parties, Tony Nwoye, Ifeanyi Ubah and Chris Ngige, at a joint press conference later in the day rejected the conduct of the election.

The All Progressives Grand Alliance however praised the conduct of the election and said INEC had fulfilled its promise to make the election the best it had ever conducted.

“We are satisfied with the way INEC has conducted this exercise so far. We are thoroughly satisfied with conduct of the security agencies,” the National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh, said.

Umeh accused those that questioned the credibility of the election of not being agents of the truth, who were only complaining because it had become clear to them that they would lose.

He said all the reports on the election were positive, saying there was no single report of violence as the police and army were at alert.

On the allegations that APGA rigged the process with INEC, Umeh said, “APGA will never rig election in this state. We believe in due process. We believe in the rule of law.”

Lamenting the way the election was conducted, Ngige said, “As we speak, I weep for Nigeria. I weep for this country called Nigeria. It is a country of great hope.

“But this generation of Nigerians does not want to bequeath anything good to the future generation. We want to keep them in a quagmire so that our children will ask, ‘why did they bring us here.?’

“INEC has taken one step forward in 2011 and three steps backwards in 2013. We do not know if Iwu’s INEC is better than this INEC.”
