Eleven governorship aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC), led by Chief George Moghalu, have called for the cancellation of the exercise
They noted that the process has been hijacked by some enemies of APC in the country.
The aspirants also called on the National Working Committee of the party to terminate the Electoral Panel, headed by Ogun State governor, Dapo Abiodun.
Speaking to journalists on behalf of the other aspirants, Moghalu, urged the Electoral Committee, chaired by governor Dapo Abiodun, to cancel the process with immediate effect
According to him, “I thank God, you journalists were in my hometown where you saw things for yourself. I have been there in Uruagu Ward 1 for the past two hours waiting to cast my vote, but I could not find any voting materials here and other wards across Nnewi North/South Council Areas. I am not happy with the situation
I learnt that some people are writing the result somewhere, which did not conform with the free, fair and transparency, the panel promised.
The voting materials that suppose to have been distributed to all the 326 wards in the state as early as 8 am according to the election Committee guidelines, arrives at about 6:45 pm this evening. So, how do you expect us to cast our votes?
“Let me say authoritatively that no APC primary election took place anywhere in Anambra State.” “On the final note, we call for the cancellation of the election,” the National Inland Waterways boss stated.
It was gathered that the other aspirants that protested against the process include; Chief Maxwell Okoye, Rev. Godwin Okonkwo, Mr Benson Etiaba, Chief Johnbosco Onunkwo, Mr Igwebuike, Mr Azuka Okwuosa and others
