Mr. Basil Ejidike, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State, has asked for the cancellation of the state’s yet-to-be-concluded governorship election.

According to PMNews Nigeria, the chairman revealed this in a statement issued Sunday night in Awka, Ejidike accused the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) of rigging the election in collusion with “corrupt-minded INEC officials.”

He said: “What is happening in Anambra is never an election but big time electoral fraud and malpractice.

“We want the whole world to hear our voice that we will never accept the outcome of the Anambra gubernatorial election.

“The candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) and the sitting Governor, Willie Obiano, manipulated the whole electoral system and we will stand to resist it.”

“Ndi Anambra wants an APC Governor and there’s nothing anyone can do to deny them that opportunity.

“We virtually won in all the local government, but Willie Obiano and Charles Soludo, through instrumentality, corrupt-minded INEC officers, subverted the whole process in favour of APGA.“We want INEC to cancel the election and fix a date for a fresh election devoid of manipulations and malpractices.”

If INEC insists on recognizing the APGA candidate as the winner of the governorship race, the Anambra APC Chairman has pledged to take the matter to court.

In his words, “But if INEC goes ahead to announce the results, we will definitely challenge the election process at the court of law, up-to Supreme Court. Nobody can intimidate us.”

Responding to the claim, Nobert Obi, the state chairman of the APGA, said the APC allegations was uncalled for, noting that everyone observed a free and fair election.

He said: “I don’t want to talk about the accusation. The accusation is uncalled for as everyone witnessed a free and fair election. I don’t know where they got such information from.”
