A principal actor in the controversial Anambra governorship election of November 16 has reportedly made sterling revelations to his interrogators in Abuja.

Mr Okeke Chukwujekwu, the electoral officer in charge of Idemili North local government area of Anambra State, currently in police detention over his role in the electoral saga, was said to have told his police investigators that he was “being used and dumped”.

The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, had, in the heat of the controversies generated by the flawed poll, admitted that the “electoral officer” in Idemili North “messed up” and that he would be handed over to the police for prosecution.

Chukwujekwu was moved to Abuja on Sunday, just as INEC said it was conducting a probe into the deliberate sabotage of the governorship election.

A top official involved in the election confided in LEADERSHIP yesterday that the arrested INEC official had made useful statements even as he was apprehensive that top directors of INEC might be “implicated”.

“The way this whole thing is going, it looks as if many heads will roll in INEC because the young man has made useful statements and if what he said is anything to rely upon, it then means that some big names in that commission might fall with him.

“At first, he was trying to rationalise his action in that local government area when he was verbally quizzed before the intervention of the police; but, after some time, especially at the point of his detention, he started to cooperate but the cooperation is loaded because he has mentioned some top officials of INEC, especially directors and a PDP chieftain, as those who ‘put him in trouble’.

Although the source declined to disclose the identities of those involved, he said “preliminary confessions” point to the fact that the bungled election in most LGAs of the state was “packaged by aggrieved politicians in connivance with top INEC officials both in Abuja and Awka” adding: “It was a well-funded package.”

“All fingers point to some aggrieved politicians and it was a well-funded package that involved quite a lot of people; that is why the man is saying he has been used and dumped,” he said.

Meanwhile, Jega has said all enquiries regarding arrests made in the bungled Anambra election should be referred to the police.

Jega’s chief press secretary, Kayode Idowu, told LEADERSHIP on the telephone that INEC would not comment on the arrested official who allegedly played a key role in the flawed poll.

“One, I cannot say anything on his matter because the police has taken over a larger chunk of the matter; only the police can say something on the role of the man arrested and how far they have gone with their investigation; so you have to contact the police.

“Again, it will be out of place for me to reel out what the commission intends to do. Mind you, INEC is also carrying out its administrative interrogation on his matter,” he said.

The truth is gradually coming out. But since the PDP is involved, It'll be a futile exercise designed to conceal the gross incompetence, sheer corruption and unabated inadequacies of the PDP. We are better informed about the so called 'breath of fresh air' in PDP.

Good but I'm not surprised since the PDP is involved. We know them!

My brother, it makes you wonder how dumb these APC rats are! Lol

I want to seize this opportunity to congratulate the Governor- elect of Anambra state, Chief Willy. M. Obiano.

I knew that Ngige and Nwoye were crying foul because their rigging did not fall through. Obi made sure he plugged some avenues that the two could have rigged from.

Ifeanyi Ubah does not know how to rig.

The question is who are the "aggrieved politicians" in the Anambra election? If this report is anything to go by, aggrieved chieftains of APC and PDP sabotaged the election in Idemili North.

donphilopus: Are you aware that the PDP chieftain is also an INEC Official??

Lol@heads will roll

We all know that all PDP heads are fixed at the spot where no wave will make it roll!

Once its a pdp chieftain; its going to remain unanimous until thy kingdom come.

ofcourse we all know some of these aggrieved politicians who were denied PDP ticket (e.g Ukachukwu, Chris ubah) declared support for APGA.

Freeglobe again? Yawnnnnnnnnnnn. APC lost woefully? 170k to 90k minus idemili with over 100k voting strength. Despite rigging, vote buying and APGA etc. After all your propaganda. Hide your head in shame.
