Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano has accused the All Progressive Congress, APC, of plotting to rig the Saturday’s governorship election.
Speaking through Don Adinuba, the state commissioner for information and public enlightentment, Obiano accused the APC of writing results for 10 local government areas, ahead of the poll.
Listing the local government areas, he said the APC was plotting to compromise officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
In a statement signed by the Commissioner, he said APC planned to take advantage of president Muhammadu Buhari’s delay assenting the new electoral bill which makes electronic voting mandatory to prepare the fraud.
He said, “The Anambra state government has credible intelligence showing that the All Progressive Congress (APC) has already written o results 10 local government areas as regards the gubernatorial election which is taking place today, Novermber 6th, 2021 .
The results are those of Onitsha North, Orumba South, Aguata, Orumba South, Orumna North, Idemili South, Ogbaru, Anambra East and Anambra West. These are LGAs with high number of registered voters.
“APC plans to capitalize on the fact that President Muhammadu Buhari, CGFR, has yet to assent the new Electoral Bill which makes electronic voting mandatory to perpetrate the fraud”.
The commissioner alleged that a former Senate, a former Deputy Governor, and a current state Governor from the Southeast are behind the plot.
“A former senate president for the Southeast, a former state deputy governor who later became a Senator from the Southeast 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 organisations and the international community of this grand plot. The barefaced brigandage just cannot stand” he added.
