The Governorship candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Nyerere
Anyim and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)
, Dr. Alex Otti have called for a total cancellation
of April 11 polls in Abia State.
Anyim and Otti who spoke to journalists at their
Agburuike and Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa residents
described the election across the 17 Local
Government Areas in the state as a sham, citing
cases of electoral irregularities: snatching of
ballot boxes, using fake uniformed men among
other electoral offences.
According to Otti, “There no was no election in
Abia State. The Governor (T.A Orji) and PDP in
collaboration with INEC officials went to various
polling units and withdraw the original result
sheet which they replaced with a fake one.
“We have information as I speak with you
(journalists) that PDP are thumb printing ballot
papers in the official residence of a top PDP
member in the state.
“They are going around using thugs who wield
machetes and fire arms, shooting sporadically in
the air to harass and scare people away before
snatching the ballot papers and result sheets.
They are also doing this using fake uniformed
men to cart away the election materials.
“It is the same situation in Umuahia, Aba North
and South, Umuahia North and South, Ohafia,
Umunneochi. In fact, there is no election in Abia
State and I am calling on the chairman of
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), Attahiru Jega to cancel the election in the
entire 17 Local Government Areas of the state
because what we witnessed is a total sham and
cannot in any way be described as an election.
We have evidences and genuine reason to call for
the cancelation of the poll”.
The APGA guber candidate however expressed the
optimism that he would still defeat the ruling
party in the state if the election was reconducted
in a credible and transparent atmosphere
Anyim while appraising the conduct of the polls
said it was peaceful in his area and however
regretted reported pockets of ballot snatching,
intimidation of the opposition by the ruling party,
stressing that the act of thuggrey and ballot box
stealing as was reported by their agents in the
field shows the desperateness of the ruling party.
According to him, “It was primitive. Nigeria is too
big for such a thing to happen; where election
materials were being stolen. It shows that they
(PDP) have failed the state because if they did
well, they wouldn’t have resorted to stealing of
ballot boxes and other sensitive materials. It is a
total shame and shows how they have failed in
giving the people of the state, good governance.
It shows that they have badly managed the state
and that is why the people need change which
APC is going to bring to the state when we come
on board as a government that the people of the
state is truly yarning for which the PDP has failed
to achieve in the last 16years of their
administration in the state.”
Also speaking, a chieftain of APGA and the Abia
Central Senatorial candidate of the party in the
just concluded National Assembly election, Chief
Ahamdi Emmanuel Nweke, corroborating Dr. Otti’s
position accused the ruling party of rigging the
process and accused the PDP of causing mayhem
all over the state.
According to Nweke, “the actions of the PDP and
some corrupt INEC officials is a rape to
democracy”.
The Nation gathered that security agents in the
state recovered 2 AK47 and 49 raps of Indian
hemp from hoodlums who were yet to name their
sponsor.

Daniyemi:
....

Abia state definitely needs a reform, the government seems to be taking the citizens for granted. Why is it so difficult to let the will of the people count?

I know that is the plan of that Thief After Orji (T.A Orji) and 'his' PDP guys. Whether he likes it or not, Alex Otti is our Governor. Any rat that calls himself OKEzie should please clear the refuse in Aba before thinking he can be our governor.
