Man Alleging Rigging In Favour Of Akunyili Is Fake Inec Returning Officer’ by gernded(m): 12:27pm On Apr 12, 2011
Mr. Alex Anene, the purported INEC returning officer for Anambra Central Senatorial Zone who alleged that he was being pressured to rig Saturday’s election in favour of Prof. Dora Akunyili, is an impostor acting out the script of Akunyili’s main rival, Dr.Chris Ngige.

“The returning officer for Anambra Central Senatorial Zone during the election was Prof. Charles Esimone, Dean, College of Pharmacy, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka,” said Prof. Akunyili, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) senatorial candidate who is locked in a supremacy battle with Ngige of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). “Anene is a fake INEC returning officer who has made himself a willing tool in the hands of a drowning and desperate politician,” Akunyili said in a statement signed by her Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Isaac Umunna.

Unmasking Alex Anene, who is the Chief Accountant of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Akunyili said: “Alex Anene was initially recruited by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to serve as the returning officer for Anambra Central during the April 9 National Assembly elections. On that Saturday morning — the day of the elections — the police in Awka stopped him in a vehicle and, upon searching him and those with him in the vehicle, found fake INEC identity cards on them.

“The police took all of them to the station and detained them. When Prof. Chukwuemeka Onukogu, the Resident Electoral Commissioner for Anambra State, heard about it, he went and bailed Anene in order to enable him to do the job for which he was hired by INEC. But rather than do so, Anene absconded and was replaced with Prof. Charles Esimone, Dean, College of Pharmacy of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, who eventually served as the returning officer for Anambra Central during the polls.
“Unfortunately, the next thing we heard was that Ngige took Anene to a hotel to say that Ngige won the election and that unnamed agents working for APGA had offered him (Anene) N10m, a duplex and scholarship for his wards to declare me the winner of the election.

“Anene is a fake returning officer publishing fake election results. He and his paymasters should be disregarded. I appeal to journalists to act professionally and give accused persons the opportunity to defend themselves before going to press. This is important so as to avoid becoming willing tools in the hands of desperate politicians intent on heating up the system having failed in their bid to actualize their political ambitions at the polls.”
