Obaze has called on INEC to make public polling unit results and other materials used for the 2019 presidential election.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Obaze, the candidate of the PDP \u00a0in Anambra 2017 governorship election and the immediate-past Secretary to Anambra State Government, made this call in a \u00a0statement\u00a0personally signed and also tweeted by him\u00a0in Awka on Monday.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">According to him, it is intriguing that INEC continues to withhold polling unit results and other election materials, long after the presidential election results were announced.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He said INEC&#8217;s refusal to make the election materials public creates room for doubts and speculations.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cBy its conduct, INEC creates room for speculation and imaginations to roam freely. Indeed, Nigerians now wonder what INEC is hiding from them.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cWhatever the encumbrances, INEC must defend its statutory position as an unbiased umpire by releasing election materials for public scrutiny and complying with court orders where applicable.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Obaze argued that the polling unit results are not INEC property but that of Nigerian voters and the legacy of dozens that tragically lost their lives while trying to defend their votes.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cINEC should stop dithering. It should acquit itself and prove to the world that it is neutral by releasing the Nigerian presidential election polling unit results.\u201d Obaze concluded.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By\u00a0 The Chairman of Atiku-Obi Presidential Campaign Organization, Anambra State, Mr. Oseloka H.
