Anambra Gubernatorial Election: APGA Accuses APC Of Planning To Rig Poll

he All Progressives Grand Alliance has accused the All Progressives Congress, of buying up voters cards with the intention of rigging the forth-coming governorship poll.



APGA said the APC was doing that in the guise of registration of members in the state.

The APGA, through the state-owned Anambra Broadcasting Service, cautioned the people of the state not to allow themselves to be deceived by the APC.

It further claimed the APC was also asking people to submit their voters’ cards after the on-going APC Membership Continuous Registration Exercise in the state.

It asked the people not to be disenfranchised by selling their voting rights.

Reacting, however, the All Progressives Congress denied the allegation, saying that APGA was only afraid of imminent defeat.

The Secretary of the Anambra State APC Continuous Registration Committee, Mr. Ford Ozumba dismissed the allegation, saying that it was ‘neither here, nor there’.

He said, “We are only here for the registration of new members, which is also taking place in other states and there are no such allegations in those states.

“The provision in the registration form requires identification of the would-be members and one could identify himself or herself with either the national ID card, Driving Licence or the voters’ card.

“There is therefore no reason for us to buy the voters cards. We don’t even have money to buy people’s cards and this kind of rumour is not good for the development of democracy.”

He described the exercise in the state as successful, stressing that there was so much happiness among the people of Anambra State to join the opposition party.
