DPP candidate wants Anambra guber poll cancelled

BY CLIFFORD NDUJIHE

Awka—THE Governorship Candidate of Democratic Peoples Party, DPP,  in the November 16  Anambra election, Mr. Chijioke Ndubuisi has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to cancel the election and conduct a fresh one next year.

Dismissing the election as “ a total disaster and a complete fraud,” Ndubuisi said outright cancellation, not supplementary election is needed now and vowed to judicially stop the November 30 election unless INEC heeded his call.

His words:  “The November 16 governorship election in Anambra State is irredeemably and incurably defective and must be nullified in accordance with law. The INEC itself accepted that the election was flawed. The election was characterised by unprecedented disenfranchisement, corrupt inducement, disappearance of ballot boxes and  late arrival of election materials.

“INEC officials sabotaged the process; elections were not held at all in most parts of Anambra and in particular in Idemili North and South, strongholds of my party. Massive and unprecedented plus scientific irregularities and rigging were witnessed just to deny us victory.  Elections were held on Sunday, the holy day of Christians in a Christian dominated area.”
