APC threatens to reject results

The All Progressives Congress on Saturday threatened to reject the results of the governorship election in Anambra State, if voting did not take place in all the local governments.

A statement from its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, said it would reject results from its strongholds of Idemili-North, Idemili-South and Awka-South.

The party condemned the shortcomings in the voters’ register, which omitted the names of many voters.

It also demanded the immediate removal of the state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Chukwuemeka Onukogu.

The statement read, ‘’Before the election, political parties were given a voter’s register that largely contained the names of most voters.

“However, about four days to the election, INEC said at a stakeholders’ forum that there were problems with the register, which would be rectified before the election.

‘’When the supposedly-corrected registers were brought back, most of the authentic names in them have disappeared without explanation.”
