National chairman on All Progressive Grand Alliance,
APGA, Chief Victor Umeh, has called on Professor Attahiru Jega, Independent
National Electoral, INEC, Chairman, to cancel the governorship and State House
of Assembly elections in South East for alleged snatching of election materials
by people allegedly working for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Chief Umeh also asked INEC to prosecute INEC officials
and PDP agents for treasonable felony for for what he called electoral
terrorism and for not allowing the electorate from South East to elect the
candidates that will represent them at all levels of government in the country.
“If every time there is an election the Igbo people
will not be allowed to elect their leaders, why we are still here, if they want
war let them have it and break up the country because we are a people that have
been held down for over 48 years now, the Igbo people have never been
themselves.
“You will conduct election, people will win, you have
the result sheet and they will go and change it today, in my ward I have
collected all the 18 polling booths results, APGA won in all the polling
booths, wait and listen may be tomorrow you will hear that we lost in my ward,
in the last election I won here in all the polling booths with 2084 votes, but
I heard that in the result they announced I lost in my ward,” he said.
According to Chief Umeh,today there is Governorship
and House of Assembly election everywhere
in Nigeria, there were reports of good elections in the North and in the
South West but in the South East, the governorship elections are not taking
place in the states they are supposed to take place “I will rather call on Prof. Attahiru Jega to
cancel the governorship election in South East and arraign all the INEC
officials and the PDP agents and prosecute them for treason, when you do not
allow people to elect their leaders you are now taking power forcefully, and it
amounts to treason, what they are committing in Igbo land is treasonable
felony, and God will punish all of them,” he said.
He alleged that a former governor of Anambra State was
seen personally spearheading hijacking of election materials at Agulu.
He said: “He was not doing it through proxies, he
personally hijacked electoral materials on 28 of March, the same thing they did
in Nri, all in Anocha Local Government Area.
“We also got reports that some people went to Ozoubulu
in Ekwusigo Local Government Area as
early as 5am to carry the election materials and the Resident Electoral
Commissioner has cancelled the election in the Local government Area, and it
was done by the same PDP people.
