The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the concluded Anambra state Governorship election, Oseloka Obase has rejected the declaration of the Chief Willie Obiano of ALL Progressive Grand Alliance as winner of the poll. Obase in a statement made available to newsmen in Awka on Sunday said the result released by Independent National Electoral Commission is different from the figures obtained from the field.
He further explained that for APGA to have won in all the Local Government shows how the exercise to massively rigged in his favor.
According to him;
“The Anambra governorship election results just released by INEC, does not reflect the realities of the votes cast on Nov. 18 by the Anambra electorate. The over voting and inconsistencies between the counted ballots and card reader data remains exceedingly worrisome.
The uniformity of the incumbent governor wining twenty-one local governments is a political aberration in the context of Anambra politics. The election result as reported shows that nothing matters to the Anambra electorate. The people have spoken; they have taken a cursory long term view of what they wish fo Anambra State.”
Recall that the Vice Chancellor of University of Calabar who served as the returning officer, Prof. Zana Akpagu had on Sunday declared Chief Willie Obiano as the winner of the election after polling 234, 071 votes to defeat his closest rival, Tony Nwoye of All Progressives Congress (APC). Nwoye scored 98, 752 votes.
It is however unclear whether the PDP will challenge the result in court.
