APC Demands Cancellation of Elections in Enugu, A’Ibom

The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Enugu state and Akwa Ibom State have called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to cancel the entire results of the 2015 Presidential Election and National Assembly elections in the two states.

As at 8pm, Sunday, only three out of 17 local governments in Enugu state had had their presidential election results released.

None of the National Assembly results had been released as at press time as collation was still ongoing at different collation centres.

The Chairman of APC in the state, Dr Ben Nwoye, who spoke to reporters Sunday night , accused the State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Professor Chukwuemeka Onukaogu of conniving with the ruling Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) and security agents to rig the election in favour of the PDP.

The Akwa Ibom State Chairman of the APC, Dr. Amadu Attai who made the call yesterday evening at a press briefing also demanded that the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the State Barrister Austin Okoji should be redeployed immediately.

The position of the party was also collaborated by the APC governorship candidate, Obong Umana Okon Umana who said with the conduct of the election outside the INEC guidelines it was very clear that the election was not free and fair in the state.

Already, a petition dated March 29, 2015 has been forwarded to the National Chairman of INEC and the State Resident Electoral Commissioner over alleged connivance of PDP with institutions meant for the conduct of the election including INEC officials and Security operatives to rig the election.

The party displayed some of the recovered ballot papers thump printed by officials of the Peoples Democratic Party saying that the party intends to carry the exhibit to INEC office in Abuja today.
