Anambra Election: Where Is Obiano’s Voter’s Card? by Youngzedd(m): 6:41am On Oct 17, 2013
Speculation about the alleged double voter registration by the APGA candidate, Willie Obiano is increasingly becoming an issue.
While APGA state chairman Chief Mike Kwentoh has dismissed the insinuation, it has become a major campaign issue for the Ifeanyi Ubah campaign which has raised assertions of impropriety against Obiano saying the APGA candidate is unfit to rule the state.

Kwentoh in dismissing the assertion that has been on cyberspace since last weekend said that what Obiano did was to transfer his registration from Lagos to Anambra
”The allegation of double registration is not true. Obiano only transferred his registration from Lagos to Anambra state. People should disregard such stories,” he said.
Reacting to the development, Prince Chukwuemeka, head of the Ifeanyi Ubah Media team said the issue went a long way to show why Obiano should not be governor.

“For him to have registered in Lagos shows that he does not come home to see his people in Anambra.
It means that he does not attend town union, kindred and family meetings. Now that he has been made candidate he chose to come home and register. Anambra people should be wise,” he said.

Reacting to the issue of double registration, the state Resident Electoral Commission (REC) Prof. Chukwuemeka Onukaogu warned that such action would attract severe sanction as provided in the constitution. He explained that in event of a voter that has relocated to another town, he or she can only apply for transfer of registration at his new location and that if it is discovered the law will take its course. Now, the ball is in Obiano’s court.

Anambra North threatens to sanction Ngige’s running mate
Some groups within Anambra North are threatening sanctions against Chief Ralph Okeke, running mate to the APC candidate Senator Chris Ngige for allegedly betraying the collective drive of the people of the area to produce the next governor of the state.

The threat is coming from the Omabala Solidarity Union which comprises four council areas of Anambra North zone and Awka North council area. The group has one of its leaders, APGA national leader and former Minister of Health, Dr. Tim Minekaya.
Okeke is not an inconsequential political factor in the area having been a former local government chairman of Anambra West council Area and two term member of the House of Representatives for Anambra East and Anambra West Federal Constituency. Speaking at the end of a meeting weekend, Sen Emma Anosike said the people were yet to endorse any of the four candidates from Anambra North vying for the governorship.

There is no smoke without fire. This will be a big blow for Mr Peter Obi and APGA in Anambra State.

Some people rigged the Anambra elections in 2002(and wasted 3years of our time and resources) and they are not in jail, we are still watching them. (Take a clue from the 60-year-old-bald bachelor below >>>>>)

But why is APC complaining?
Their candidate in Ondo election transfered his voters' card to Owo from Ibadan last year, if it was right then, why is it wrong now?
