…Says APGA victory in State Assembly elections exposes PDP’s rigging machinery in NASS polls

Democracy deepened last Saturday following the free and fair conduct of the State House of Assembly election in Anambra State, with the State governor, Chief Willie Obiano expressing thanks to Ndi Anambra and urging the voters to consolidate on the gains of democracy achieved in the State by voting for the remaining four candidates of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the rescheduled State House of Assembly elections in  Ekwusigo, Anaocha and Aguata local government areas of the State. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), through its Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) had announced APGA winner in 26 State House of Assembly seats, declaring as inconclusive the election that took place in Uga Ward 1 in Aguata 1 State Constituency, Adazi-ani Ward, Adazi-Nnukwu Ward 1, Agulu Wards 1 - 4 all in Anaocha 1 Constituency and Nri Ward 1 and 2 in Anaocha 2 State Constituency as well as Ekwusigo State Constituency.

Ndi Anambra udo dili unu,

The People’s Will finally Triumphs in Anambra

 

As the results of the House of Assembly election began to filter in on Sunday evening in Anambra State, sporadic songs of victory broke out on the streets of Nnewi, Awka, Onitsha and of course Aguleri. All around the state, there was a general sense of re-validation; a re-ignition of the kindred spirit that washes over brothers who have fought gallantly in a war against the invaders of their patrimony and brought the opponent to his knees in absolute defeat. It was a titanic battle between hegemonic forces that had made a loud statement penultimate week with a brazen show of raw power from above, trampling on the will of Ndi Anambra with Armed Personnel Carriers (APC) to dubious victory in the National Assembly elections. As Ndi Anambra watched these war vehicles roam the arteries of Anaocha and environs where Hon Uche Ekwunife and former Governor Peter Obi held sway, they muttered in rueful silence as only violated people do.

Anambra House Election: The Votes Must Count this Time

 

Thousands of voters who endured the scorching sun and malfunctioning card-readers to cast their votes in last week’s Presidential and National Assembly elections in Anambra State are still reeling from the shock of the dubious results announced by INEC at the end of the exercise. In what could easily pass for a faint reminder of the Hobbesian Days of the old Anambra, the people watched, helpless as the state Resident Electoral Commissioner announced what has been widely condemned as voodoo results that have no bearing with the actual votes cast in the various polling booths and cheekily handed victory to all PDP candidates, some of who never even ran any serious campaign before the elections.
