[size=15pt]South East CPC disowns Buhari[/size]
•Says presidential election was not rigged in the zone

The controversy trailing the last presidential election took another dimension yesterday when members of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) disowned the party’s standard-bearer, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. They said that the election was the freest ever conducted in Nigeria.

After the results of the presidential election were announced, Buhari had rejected results in the South East, claiming that the election was massively rigged against him and the party in South East.

Speaking in Awka, Anambra State capital, chairmen of the party in the five states of the South East, stated: “In all fairness, we wish to state very clearly that the 2011 presidential election was the freest and fairest election ever conducted in Nigeria, though not without minor hitches.”

The chairmen disclosed that the colossal failure of the party in the zone was rather a product of internal wrangling that rocked the party few days to the election than the alleged rigging.

In a six-paragraph communiqué entitled, South East CPC Confirms Presidential Election Free, Fair and Credible, read on their behalf by the Anambra State chairman of the party, Prince Chuba Ikeagwu, the CPC chiefs frowned at the assertion by the leader of the party without verifying from them.

The communiqué read in part: “The South East members of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) received with surprise the news that the just-concluded presidential election was rigged against our party in our zone. In all fairness, we wish to state very clearly that the 2011 presidential election was the freest and fairest election ever conducted in Nigeria, though not without minor hitches.

“As custodians of the party in the zone, we were embarrassed to hear that the CPC was rigged out in the just presidential polls in the South East. It’s an indictment on our commitment to our party. Facts should have been verified from the leadership of the party in the zone by whoever is concerned before making an official statement on issues that affect us.

“Our position is not meant to slight or embarrass anybody but to straighten out issues and appeal to those who chose to truncate facts that are capable of creating disaffection among the peace loving Nigerians to desist forthwith. We are neither deaf nor dumb and were in the best position to present issues as they occurred.”

ezeagu:

Where are his supporters bragging about the insignificance of the South east?

OAM4J:

But then the question is: Will Buhari miss them?

alex_101:

These same absconders are also questioning the high voter-turnout in the SE/SS, when they themselves failed to show up for their candidate Ribadu

ekt_bear:

Lol. Our bad. Sorry we cannot match 84% voter turnout. Then again, probably in no major election in US history has 84% turnout ever happened. Or Canadian. Or Mexican.

In 4 years time, don't worry, by hook or crook we will get 84% turnout too

high voter turnout ko, fraud ni

ekt_bear:

High voter turnout, but governors lamenting on TV about poor turnout

High voter turnout, but media coverage saying low voter turnout.

High voter turnout, but the streets not jam packed with people.

Maybe we should commit fraud too in four years and then mock others for not being as enthusiastic about voting.

4 years time. . . we'll get 115% voter turnout  

State	Voter Turnout #2
Imo	83.56%
Abia	77.95%
Enugu	62.47%
Anambra	57.52%
Ebonyi	47.87%
Bayelsa	85.61%
Rivers	76.32%
Akwa Ibom	76.22%
Delta	68.82%
Cross River	63.24%

Obiagu. . dude.

So you aren't contesting that there was massive rigging in the SE zone, but instead beefing that I wasn't specific enough in my post, and instead should have said "83.56% in Imo State" 

That is what has your panties in a knot?

My bad, I'll be more precise next time in my next sarcastic response to alex101. I didn't have the spreadsheet out in front of me when I was ridiculing the fraudulent high turnout, otherwise I've have been more specific.

If they would release #s for each LGA, I could even be more precise. But of course, they won't do that.

Beaf:

Lol. You talk crap with careless abandon.

You don't even know your village, but sit out there in the US hallucinating and guessing. There is a real World, not the spaced out place your mind cooks up about Nigeria that you have hardly visited.
Save us the crocodile tears, buy a ticket, actually visit and get to know your village before talking crap about Nigeria, a country you only know from google. Dufus, learn the name of your chief, which roads lead where etc.

Dude, take your ridiculous evidence to court in support of Buhari, or shut the eff up. Your foolishness is irritating.

ekt_bear:

Though I'm certainly not alone; many people on the ground have realized the obvious, this Ambadassor Campbell, Prof Aluko, and Nasir El-Rufai being just a few of them.

Dav.e:

Can you imagine? Whic kind Country be this sef?
How can this sort of creature even be a presidential candidate? And many Nigerians just supportred him blindly.
All the false allegations he made + previous incitements have now led to the death of innocent citizens.The disgrace hasn't started, let him go to court!
