FreeGlobe: From now to March is a long time for courts to deliver judgment. I predict Obiano will be the first "Governor (s)elect" in Nigeria that will not be sworn in.

So your lunatic has gone beyond care?
You clowns should stop deceiving your selves about Tunde Ngige popularity in Anambra state. Ngige can only win vote in Idemili

Congrat my governor elect

The candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Mr. Willie Obiano, has been declared the winner in the Anambra State governorship election.

Obiano scored 180,178 to beat the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Mr. Tony Nwoye, to the second position with 97,700 votes and Senator Chris Ngige of the All Progressives Congress,  who came third with 95,963.

The Labour Party candidate, Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah, came fourth with 37,495.

The formal declaration was made by the Chief Returning Officer, Prof. James Epoke, who is also the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar around 1 am on Sunday.

The declaration of the winner brought to an end a long-running and controversial process of electing a new governor for Anambra State.

The entire process of electing the new governor was dogged by controversy as three of the major political parties that fielded candidates called for its cancellation and vowed to boycott the supplementary election.

The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, who admitted the errors committed in the election, apologised to the nation but said the errors were not substantial enough to warrant the cancellation of the entire exercise.

The supplementary election was eventually held on Saturday but was characterised by low turnout. The Agbaja Polling Unit 22 in Abatete, Idemili North Local Government Area, which has a voting population of 739, for instance, had only 24 candidates accredited and 20 of them voting in the supplementary election.

The main election, which held on November 16, could not be concluded on the same day and INEC announced that election in 65 polling units in Obosi ward in Idemili North Local Government Area would be repeated.

The Chief Returning Officer said the voting population in the areas where election did not take place was large enough to make the second or third person defeat the leading candidate. He, therefore, declared the election inconclusive.

Following the development, INEC  declared  that supplementary election would in 210 polling units, where 113,113 voters could not vote on November 16. The areas affected  cut across 15 local government areas and most of them (160)were in Idemili North.

Epoke said the Electoral Act required that for a winner to be declared in an election, the difference in the total voting population of the areas where election was cancelled should be less than the difference between the votes scored by the candidate with the highest votes and the votes of the candidate with the second highest votes.

The returning officer had reported that the total voting population in the areas where election was cancelled was 113,113, which was higher than the 79,754 difference between the leading candidate’s votes and the second highest candidate’s votes, saying the commission had no choice but to declare the election inconclusive.

“The rule guiding this election is that for a winner to emerge, he must have majority of votes cast and the required spread of 25 per cent of votes in two thirds of the local government areas.

“We observed that due to many reasons, there were a lot of cancelled votes that made it difficult for a winner to emerge,” Epoke said.

He said the winner of the election would be declared only after election has been conducted in areas where the election was cancelled.

In declaring Obiano winner, Epoke said the APGA candidate did not only win the majority of the votes cast, but also fulfilled the requirement that the winner should score 25 per cent of the total votes cast in two thirds of the local governments in the state, in Anambra’s case 14 local government areas.

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission Resident Commissioner in Rivers State, Mr Aniedi Ikoiwak, has commended the people of Anambra for coming out to vote in Saturday’s supplementary governorship election.

The electoral commissioner, who supervised the election in Onitsha South and Onitsha North council areas, spoke at Okija hall, where voting took place in four polling units.

“The important thing here is that for so many places where I have visited, the party agents were  there, especially those of the major parties.

“It is a clear indication that there had not been any boycott of the election by any of the parties.

“The people were interested in completing this exercise so that at the end of the day, their governor would be announced to them,’’ he said.

Ikoiwak said NEC directed its poll officers to display the Form 60E on the day of the exercise, which would show that the election had been completed peacefully.

“You cannot display that form if you do not have a conducive environment.

“And that form would display the result in each unit for members of the public to copy and know what happened in the unit,’’ he said.

Lol to Ngige

Fashola and his Amala and Ewedu SAN-ship "egwu di kwa"

Too much for the so called "progressive"

justjify: I thought anambrarians were politically enlightened,instead of voting personality for change, they decided to take themselves backward by voting a Obis puppet(Obiano). Talking about past achievements and the passion to work for anambra state, Obiano cannot be compared to Ifeanyi Uba, no to talk of Chris Ngige.
If they don't wanto vote for Ngige for fear of Tinubu and Buhari; may I ask, since Rochas defected to APC, how many times did Tinubu or Buhari visit Imo state. Is anambra "FAR" better than †ђξ worst APC state in †ђξ "WEST"?
Its obvious that there are few elected voters in anambra state.
I wish them d best as in the next 8YEARS of backwardness & underdevelopment.
NDI ANAMBRA KWENU!!!!

You think we will ignore all this signs and still vote APC in our dear state?

doncaster: If the Lagos Muslims in SW don't care or vote along religious line the best thing they can do to convince people is to support a Christian governor. They say action speaks louder than voice. If those Muslims that commented above had said yes we support him if he can continue the "good work" of fashola this would have been sweeter.

Don't mind those Hypocrisy. They don't care whether Christian or Muslim because 1 of their own is there

Gone are days of "we don't care whether muslin or Christians" blablablabla. The world is changing so we must live with it. Before Aregbesola became Osun state governor Osun was like cold water but today what's happening?

Aregbesola saga a case study for Yoruba Christians

It’s funny that the great APC headquarter has such low standard for human rights. The act of intimidation has trademark will soon be further exposed. Nigerians Beware APC is the DeVILs brainchild forget all the propaganda. SCAM

Nice one OP.... Waiting for APC e-Warrior

This is another good example of good investigative journalism. Similar to the police college saga… It is a shame that Nigerian politicians never learn from history.

SAN Femi Falana over to you…this case happened in your backyard.

1wolex85: I can't hear all this pple saying that punch is a pro apc paper o! They are not saying it is a pro SW paper o!
When they bring out their report against oduah or any other igbo high ranking officials, PUNCH all of a sudden become liars. How come all these pple quoting punch now have not doubted the story one bit? If it is oduah now, punch na SW paper!
Hypocrites on the prowl!

Forget about PUNCH credibility for now, deal with this; Lagos Suspends Principal

FreeGlobe: You mean Inec to announce APGA's Obiano winner with over 100,000 ghost voters.

Shambolic election which the 'winner' will last shorter than Kim kardashian's marriage.

Thanks God your resuscitation

bloggernaija: Ok two classes were merged together for a class,
And there was not enough furniture in the temporarily enlarged class to go round.

Am waiting this post to hit front page before i ll reply you.
The same treatment meted on the woman that ran the orphanage near the Lagos deputy governor’s home. A child in the orphanage was interviewed, the child told reporters that they are hungry, and that the deputy governor who happens to be their immediate neighbor should help. The next day the orphanage was closed down and the owner was accused of so many things including child trafficking. APC style. Don’t let your mama know.

Fashola is working. Tinubu the emancipator, APC showing us how democracy works

Mod[s] thanks you for doing the "needful"
