The former Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and Senatorial candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the Anambra South in Saturday’s election, Dr. Ernest Ndukwe, has advised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), not to recognize or issue certificate of return to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Andy Ubah, reports ITRealms.
Ndukwe who was speaking to newsmen at Oraifite in Ekwusigo local
government area of Anambra State, said that from the results recorded on Form
EC8A1 in all the polling units within the Senatorial zone he contested, evidently
showed that he won strikingly, advising Mr. Andy Uba who has been parading
himself as winner to surrender.
“The people of Anambra
South senatorial zone voted massively for me in all the seven local government
areas, but it is so disheartening that some people decided that the wish of the
people should be thwarted,” he lamented.
Ndukwe said that it’s
a known fact that the result of every election comes from the polling unit,
decrying that the card reader could not work optimally coupled with the
resumption of voting late.
“Unfortunately,
because the card readers did not work, voting started late end stretched into
the night. And because there was no light, there was no collation at the ward
level and everything had to be taken to the local government collation center,
He alleged that it was
at this point the security agents joined some members of PDP in manipulating
the election in addition to intimidating the INEC ad hoc staff.
“Form EC8A is there to
prove it because you cannot get a different thing in the field and then
announce a different thing as the result. It is not done. I think
in the course of time, my people will have the leader they voted for.
“No proper collation
was done anywhere in Anambra South Senatorial zone. There was wide spread of
falsification of results and inducement. Corpers were influenced and even when
the Returning Officer refused to announce the doctored results, the PDP stalwarts
had to force another INEC officer to announce the falsified results,” he claimed.
Ndukwe also said his
mandate must be return to him, while he commended voters in the zone for the
support given to him.
“I, therefore, call on
INEC not to allow this charade to stand by not issuing certificate of return to
PDP because there were irregularities of the highest order,” Ndukwe insisted..
