***Says APGA Carcass Can’t Defeat APC<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The Senator Andy Uba Campaign Organization has rejected the result of the just-concluded Anambra state governorship election as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).<\/p>\n

The organisation insisted that there was no way even the carcass of APGA could win the APC in the election.<\/p>\n

Describing the outcome of the election as \u201ca charade and did not reflect the wishes of the people of Anambra state”, it alleged that the candidate of the APC \u201cSenator 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.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a\u00a0 statement signed\u00a0 in Abuja on behalf of the campaign organisation by Ambassador Jerry Ugokwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe elections were characterised by widespread irregularities, intimidation and voter suppression in order to clear the path for the inglorious \u2018victory\u2019 of APGA in the polls.<\/p>\n

For instance, in polling units where the Biometric Voters\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is inconceivable that our candidate, who polled over 200,000 votes in the APC primary election would be allocated a slightly above 43,000 votes by INEC.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is surprising that APGA that lost almost 80% of its stalwarts through defection to the APC before the election came out \u2018victorious\u2019. A sitting APGA Deputy Governor, seven members of the House of Representatives, 10 members of the Anambra State House of Assembly, the APGA party\u2019s member of Board of Trustees, many serving SA\u2019s, SSA\u2019s, in addition to a serving PDP Senator all defected to the APC very timely before the election, yet APGA emerged \u2018victorious\u2019. This is quite ridiculous!\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the only people remaining in APGA at the time of the election were Governor Obiano and his household and a few staff of the Government House as well as Prof. Soludo and his household but majority of the electorates in Anambra state have moved to the APC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was definitely no way the carcass of APGA could have defeated the APC without the active collusion and manipulation by INEC and the Obiano Administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened on November 6, 2021 fell far below the acceptable standard of a free and fair election and can best be described as an electoral fraud perpetrated by the INEC, Willie Obiano Administration and the security forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have noted that starting from the appointment of INEC Adhoc staff, who mostly came from Calabar, to the distribution of electoral materials and the retention of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, who supervised the second term election of Governor Obiano, it was crystal clear that the game plan was to overturn the popular wishes of the people of Anambra State in the biggest electoral heist of all time in Nigeria\u2019s political history.\u201d<\/p>\n

The campaign group appealed to the APC supporters to remain peaceful and calm, saying \u201cwe will not relent in pursuing our stolen electoral mandate to the limit of the law through all the constitutional means available as the facts on ground did not in any way reflect the outcome of the elections as announced by the obviously compromised INEC<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
