The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the just
concluded Anambra State Governorship Election, Senator Andy Uba, has rejected
the outcome of the polls.
Uba said this in a statement titled, ‘Senator Andy Uba
Rejects the outcome of Anambra Governorship Election,’ signed by the Spokesman
for his campaign organisation, Jerry Ugokwe, on Thursday.
He described the results as declared by the Independent
National Electoral Commission “as a charade” which was not reflective of the
wishes and aspirations of the people of the state.
The campaign organisation said, “Our popular candidate,
Senator Andy Uba is a victim of widespread electoral fraud and manipulation by
INEC in cohorts with the Willie Obiano Regime and the security forces deployed
to oversee the Anambra State Governorship Election.
“The elections were characterised by widespread
irregularities, intimidation and voter suppression in order to clear the path
for the inglorious ‘victory’ of APGA in the polls.
“For instance, in polling units where the Biometric Voters’
Accreditation System malfunctioned, INEC went ahead to conduct the elections
manually. There were numerous cases where votes announced by INEC exceeded the
number of accredited voters in polling units.
“Another clear manifestation of collusion between the Obiano
Administration and INEC was the publishing of results on the Social Media
handles of APGA even before official announcement by INEC. Yet mysteriously,
the votes announced in advance by APGA always corresponded correctly with the
official figures released by INEC.
“It is inconceivable that our candidate, who polled over
200,000 votes in the APC primary election would be allocated slightly above
43,000 votes by INEC.
“It is surprising that APGA that lost almost 80 per cent of
its stalwarts through defection to the APC before the election came out
‘victorious’. A sitting APGA Deputy Governor, seven members of the House of
Representatives, 10 members of the Anambra State House of Assembly, the APGA
party’s member of Board of Trustees, many serving SA’s, SSA’s, in addition to a
serving PDP Senator all defected to the APC very timely before the election,
yet APGA emerged ‘victorious’. This is quite ridiculous.”
The organisation vowed to pursue its “stolen mandate” to the
limits allowed by the law of the land.
