Gov Willie Obiano of Anambra State
Anambra 2021: ‘APC has already written election results for 10 LGAs in Anambra,’ laments Gov. Obiano
Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC), has perfected plans of rigging the ongoing governorship election in the state, as he further claimed that the party has written poll results in 10 local government areas (LGAs).
In a statement by the governor, Saturday, through his state Commissioner for information and Public Enlightenment, C. Don Adinuba, Obiano claimed that APC wrote the results for the local government areas even before the election day.
According to Governor Obiano, APC was plotting to compromise officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
In a declaration indicating that the governor and his All Progressive Grand Allian ce (APGA) were already conceding the election, Governor Obiano said APC plans to take advantage of President Muhammadu Buhari’s delay in assenting the new Electoral Bill which would have made electronic voting mandatory, and rigging difficult.
“The Anambra State Government has credible intelligence showing that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has already written results of 10 Local Government Areas as regards the gubernatorial election which will take place tomorrow, November 6, 2021. The results are those of Onitsha North, Onitsha South, Aguata, Orumba South, Orumba North, Idemili North, Idemili South, Ogbaru, Anambra East and Anambra West. These are LGAs with high numbers of registered voters.
“APC operatives are relying on compromised Independent National Electronic Commission (INEC) officials, who smuggled out the result sheets of a number of polling units two nights ago and the result sheets of some LGAs last night, to accept and announce the results, regardless of authentic results submitted by INEC officials electronically.
“They plan to capitalize on the fact that President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has yet to assent to the new Electoral Bill which makes electronic voting mandatory to perpetrate the fraud.
“A former Senate President from the Southeast, a former State Deputy Governor who later became a Senator from the Southwest and a sitting State Governor from the Southeast are deeply involved in the fraud to toy with the destiny of the Anambra people.
“This public announcement is to alert the Anambra people, the INEC national leadership, the security agencies, the mass media, election observers, civil society organizations and the international community of this grand plot. The barefaced brigandage just cannot stand,” the governor’s statement read.
