 Mr Godwin Ezeemo the  State Leader of Progressive People’s  Alliance (PPA)in Anambra  State has called for option A 4 in future elections in the country

 

He said the use of option A4 would check mate lots of electoral practices and make the true voice of the people heard .

 According to him, he described INEC upholding the result that was full of irregularity and contradictions as image battery and tarnishing of its self.

 

“ I must appreciate a  reasonable degree of improvement made by the commission in other aspects of the electoral process but condemn in strong terms the announcement of Aguata result by INEC in just concluded elections.

 

“ INEC cannot be speaking from two sides of its mouth, they want to give a resounding and transparent electioneering process to the country and still display show of shame.

 

“INEC should stand by it words of operating best practice and proving to  the world that we have best brains to handle of our affairs “ he said ..

 

 Ezeemo said that in spite of delay in assumption of duty by the ad hoc workers that the card reader was not functioning well and the workers refused to switch over to manual accreditation immediately yet the stop accreditation without attending to all  voters saying that  time is against them.

 

‘ The presiding officer refused to give extra time nor use accredit and vote since the commenced about 1pm so with that  action lots of voters was shot out of voting it was painful’ he said

   

He said that the result was doctored as the result released in most polling units in Amsie, Uga, Ekwuluobia,Achala among others  did not tally with electoral  records of the area.  

 

Ezeemo said that INEC was yet to curb money sharing in polling units on election day as that was the trade and stock of some political party on March 28 election.

 

He said that stiffer penalty should be applied to political party sharing money to voters on election day as such would check mate the practices.

 

Also Mrs Angela Okoye PPA candidate for Aguata Federal  Constituency said that the actions of the INEC workers indicates that the commission was favoring a particular party.

 

Okoye said that voters in her strong holds was not accredited as the claim that time was against while accreditation started by 2pm and voting ended about 6pm 

 

She said that INEC should correct its short falls and give credible elections on April 11.

 

TROUBLE BREAKS OUT IN COLLATION CENTER, ELECTION MAY END IN STALEMATE

Trouble has broken out in the Abuja Presidential election collation center, with PDP rejecting the ongoing exercise on the premise that the result of the election has already been printed by the APC in connivance with Prof Jega, even before the end of the exercise.

The PDP agent in the colation centre, Dr Godsday Orubebe has commenced a protest, shuting up the center on the premise that Jega is compromised, partial and tribalistic.

Orubebe insists that Jega sent a committee to River State to ascertain the protest of the people of the state ignoring the letter of protest by the PDP, and refusing to send delegates to ascertain the truth about the rigging in Katsina and Kano.

He insists that Jega must vacate the centre and go to his office to constitute a delegation to deal with the protest letter of the PDP before the exercise can continue.

Sources said that even though the election is on going, the election has already been rigged in the favour of APC.

Jega is already calling for security agents to bundle Orubebe out of the centre.

APGA rejects INEC declared results, insists it won landslide on polling units



By Odogwu Emeka Odogwu, Awka



The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) yesterday denounced the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) , saying it was concocted results and not what happened at the polling units.



Senatorial candidate of APGA for Anambra central senatorial zone , Chief Victor Umeh flanked by the Anaocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia federal constituency Dozie Nwankwo and Awka North and South Federal constituency, Chief Godson Ezenagu insisted the results were manufactured.



Umeh announced that APGA is heading for the Tribunal to challenge the election results declared by INEC , expressed optimism that they would get judgement as it happened in 2003 with APGA getting judgment at last in the Tribunal.

Umeh speaking for others said documentary evidences from the polling units showed APGA won at the first ballot in all polling units reeling out the results in Form EC81copies the party collected.



Briefing a world press conference at his Aguluzigbo country home said INEC declared a fraudulent result, adding that they were shocked at the results declared by INEC.



The APGA candidates wondered why those who lost elections at the polling units should be those announced as winners rather than those who won.

Umeh informed that himself based on polling unit results as well as Dozie Nwankwo , Godson Ezenagu and Ifeanyi Ibezi for Idemmili North /South federal constituency who was unavoidable absent , all won their elections based on field results as contained in EC81 signed by the various political parties.



He admitted that although the election started with early challenges it went fine until collation when the ruling party -PDP in connivance with INEC, used soldiers to intimidate and harass the agents before taking possession of the INEC results being collated at the different local government areas.



Umeh wondered the kind of results declared by INEC without ward and local government collation even with the absence of collation agents.

He informed that the rigging was in line with 2003 style which APGA challenged and won in the tribunal insisting that the PDP has kissed the dust as the documentary evidences are enough to invalidate what INEC announced for PDP with concocted results.

HOW UBAH, OBIJACKSON CLASHED OVER ALLEGED RIGGING

At least 5 persons including 2 policemen and the Group Managing Director of NESTOIL PLC, Dr. (Sir) Ernest Azudialu Obiejesi were serious wounded on Sunday in a fight between him and the Director of Transformation Ambassador of Nigeria (TAN), Dr. Ifeanyi Uba.

The Free-For-All Fight began around 3.30pm at the headquarters of Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra which is the collation center for Ihiala Federal House of Representative, and lasted for more than 45minute over an alleged result mutilation.

Daily Times learnt that trouble started when Dr. Ifeanyi Uba allegedly found Sir Obiejesi while falsifying the original result sheet been submitted to the collation center in favour of his party, APGA. Ifeanyi Uba was supporting PDP.

“When Uba found Sir Obiejesi popularly known as Obijackson falsifying the original sheets to favour APGA and his candidate, Uba encountered him, snatched the paper away from him and they began to fight to the charging of their respective supporters,” our source said.

Sir Obiejesi clothing was torn even as two vehicles were badly damaged at the process but the key players refused to grant the press interview on what truly transpired.

Confirming the report on phone, the Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer (PPPRO) Uche Eze said “there was crisis at ihiala local government area which is the collation centre but I do not know the names of those involved in the fight. But two Police men were injured and already taken to hospital for treatment.”
 
Our reporter reliably gathered that it was effort of policemen sent from the state police command that brought the matter to a halt.

Politicians express disappointment in Jega’s card readers in Anambra - ‘Rigging was so high you can vote even with an ATM’ - Pockets of violence registered

Politicians in Anambra State have expressed disappointment over the use of card readers in last Saturday’s election, saying it its introduction and subsequent failure paved way for rigging, confusion and violence in the presidential and national assembly elections.

It almost became obvious that the election may be short of credible when despite late arrival of election officials, attempts by the polling officers to booth the card reader for accreditation failed.

In Aguluzoigbo civic centre, the Poll official, who identified himself as Ahmed said the card reader could not be started as despite all efforts, it refused to booth. When told to resort to manual accreditation, Ahmed said that the instruction is for them to do so in cases where the card reader has already identified the PVC as authentic.

“But with the failure of the card reader, we cannot even identify the PVC, let alone authenticating that it actually belonged to them. So we are waiting for orders from above before we can continue.”

ELEKENEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM gathered that the same was the case in most parts of Anambra State, while in some places the card reader came on though but failed to identify even authentic PVCs, leading to confusion.

It was learnt that it took persistent phone calls from the Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano to the INEC chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega for the card readers to be jettisoned and manual accreditation taken to, but that did not happen until about 1pm when actual voting should have started.

According to reports gathered in several places in Anambra, despite the resolve to use manual accreditation, the exercise was still short of fair and credible as in some places, politicians and electorates complained of incomplete materials such as ballot papers and result sheets.

In Ochuche Primary School in Ogbaru where the duo of the APGA candidate and the PDP candidate for senate, Chief Dubem Obaze and Princess Stella Oduah were to vote, the INEC officials were sent back for bringing only the House of Representatives ballot papers without the Senate and Presidential.

Plea for the House of Representatives election to commence with the hope that the ballot papers for the senate and presidential will arrive were refused by stakeholders in the area.

When actual voting started in most areas, election officials were overwhelmed by the crowd of people that turned out for the election, with the card reader out, many people were said to have even brought it cards belonging to other people to vote.

A Labour party official who refused to disclose his name said, “In Odoagba ward, in Awka South where I voted, the rigging was so high that people even collected cards belonging to other people and used them to vote.

“The poll officers were overwhelmed, and they were so tired that they just had to let everything go. Agents of various political parties were seen at the polling centre haggling with voters over how much should be paid them, the whole thing was a sham.”

Several politicians who spoke to our correspondent insisted that the introduction of the card readers heightened rigging the in election.

Chief Victor Umeh said, “Jega’s card reader has failed. Those who are expert riggers will simply take advantage of it. I have been getting reports from the field about wide spread rigging in mainly Agulu and Nri where Peter Obi and Uche Ekwunife came from.

“There are also several reports of violence in those places, and we had taken time to report to the police that thise areas will be very highly violence prone because of the desperation of Uche Ekwunife and Peter Obi.”

Meanwhile, the chairman of Anaocha local government area, Ikeobi Ejiofor who is a staunch APGA chief and Ogochukwu Egolum another APGA chieftain were kidnapped by unknown persons in Nri and Obeledu, Anaocha local government area.

Ejiofor was said to have been taken at Agu Ndu square in his community while mobilizing his supporters for the election, while Egolum was taken in his village square, Nri, and their whereabout were still not known as at the time of filling this report.

National Chairman of APGA, Chief Umeh said the police and other security agents have been alerted and a search for them have commenced.

As at the time of filling this report, election results were still trickling into the Awka South local government headquarters which served as the collation centre for the Anambra Central Senatorial election, while rescheduled voting has also commenced.

I WILL NOT ACCEPT ELECTION CANCELLATION ..BUHARI

Presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, General Mohammadu Buhari on Saturday said it would be unfair for anyone to contemplate the cancellation of the presidential polls following a few recorded hiccups.Main opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Mohammadu Buhari casts his ballot at a polling station in the “Gidan Niyam Sakin Yara A ward” at Daura in Katsina State on March 28, 2015. Voting began in Nigeria’s general election but delays were reported countrywide because of technical problems in accrediting electors.He said that the challenges were minor to have affected the entire country. Citing instances, the former Head of State said that what had happened in 5 States could not have presumably affected the remaining 31 State and the Federal Capital territory, Abuja.

Bomb explosion rocks awka polling unit

An early morning explosion has rocked a polling unit in Awka at Atom Umuokpara primary school, Awka ward one.

Elekenews gathered from resident of the area on arrival that the explosion happened at 7:05 in the morning with a loud bang that sent residents of the area scampering for safety.

A community leader in the area, Aiza Nwosu said the explosion may not be unconnected with today's election, but may have been targeted at scaring voters away.

Gowon in Ojukwu Varsity, blame him for civil war - says war was for Nigeria’s good -Nigeria won’t survive a second war

 

Former military Head of State, general Yakubu Gowon has blamed the leader of the Biafra Nation, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu for the outbreak of the civil war which lasted for three years, saying that his refusal to adhere to the agreement reached at the Aburi Accord was the reason for the war.

 

Gowon who was guest speaker at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Universirty, COOU which was formerly known as Anambra State University in a convocation lecture to herald the 6^th Convocation of the university said that Ojukwu’s stubbornness which led him to hold a state broadcast contrary to the agreement in the Aburi accord and also declaring that the accord was for a confederal government was the reason for the war.

 

He said, “The accord was meant to enable parties involved break the ice and meet as officers and gentlemen to discuss and solve our problem and preferable in our homeland but Ojukwu insisted on a foreign land.

 

“We went there with no preposition paper, but to meet and discuss, but Ojukwu came with a prepared paper. On return from Ghana it was agreed that I will make the first broadcast and the regional heads will make theirs, but I was down with malaria when I came back and Ojukwu  went on air to say we agreed to a confederation which I had strongly objected.

 

“This was why we made Decree eight, which Ojukwu rejected. We made the decree and were ready to implement it to the letter because we had given Ojukwu all that he wanted. I got the secretary to the government and Some senior civil servant to review the accord and we came up with the decree I had mentioned. So who ever said the accord failed because of me is not saying the truth, and if there had been no succession by Ojukwu, there would be no civil war.

 

“I have read several accounts with some amusing me. One of the most misunderstood is that which pertain to the Aburi accord and failure to stop the civil war. Ojukwu had already taken some anti government stand including the hijacking of Nigeria Airways plane and annexation of branches of CBN, Post Offices and cornering of revenue to the new state, and all these meant succession which led to the war.” Gowon said.

 

He insisted that even in the outbreak of hostilities, he never referred to themselves as enemies, but truly enough because they were rebelling against the Federal government there had to be trouble.

 

He also insisted the code of conduct for the war, which included that women and children should not be killed, but protected; all who surrendered must not be killed but taken as prisoner of war; churches and mosque must be spared; Civilian and military must receive the same medical attention were all fully followed and in cases where the rules were broken, the soldiers were summarily executed to teach others a lesson.

 

Gowon said, “I have come to assure you that I was sincere in the war to save Nigeria from collapse and I am sorry for all that were killed that had nothing to do with the war. You can also understand that the whole situation was taken by men within their 20s and 30s, so it should be understandable if any rash decisions were taken, but we must congratulate ourselves for emerging strong, and we owe that to the Igbos who accepted the reconciliation move.”

 

Gowon said that besides all that transpired between he and Ojukwu during the war, he believes strongly that he and Ojukwu shared one thing in common, and that was their being principled men.

 

“The war resulted because we both stuck to our principles, and we were working to preserve the integrity of our country. I understand and respect his position, but not the extreme positions he took and if he was in my shoes, I am sure he would have done the same, so we never disliked each other.”

 

Speaking on the position of the country presently, and the forthcoming general election, Gowon said the election presents Nigerians with the opportunity of choosing a leader with the ballot and not through the guns.

 

“We must avoid war, history shows that no country has ever survived two civil wars, so it is better to jaw jaw than to war war.”

 

Also  speaking on Igbo presidency, Gowon regretted that PDP missed the opportunity of letting an Igbo man occupy Aso Rock when it missed the ticket of the party, and stated that only the occupation of the Aso Rock Villa will fully assuage the hurt felt by the Igbos as a result of the civil war.

 

“We hope that a time will come when the Igbo will get the opportunity to rule this country and give it the leadership it deserves.” Gowon said.

 

Meanwhile, a mild drama occurred during the lecture when a retuired Biafra Soldier who was told that General Gowon was in the occasion, came dressed in full military regalia, beating security agent to step up to the door when the general was delivering his lecture, banging it very hard and demanding to see Gowon.

 

“I have a lot of things to tell him, I want to look him in the eyes and let him also look into my eyes. I am sure he will know me and I demanded to see him now.”

 

He was however stopped from seeing the general as his motive was not clear.

 

Prof Fidelis Okafor the Vice Chancellor of the university thanked the guest lecturer for setting the record of the civil war which has severally been twisted straight.

 

The COOU will today(Thursday) hold its 6^th convocation ceremony, and it will be the first since after it changed its name from Anambra State University.

Slug: Awka indigenes sack leaders from parading selves, constitute caretaker c’ttee

Indigenes of the Awka town comprising of seven communities converged yesterday at the village square to sack the leaders of its town union led by Engr Tony Okechukwu, citing expiration of its tenure since 17^th March 2015.

 

The eldest man in the town who was represented by the second eldest, Chief Nwabude Nwachukwu stated that the reason for the meeting was the refusal of members of the Awka Development Union(ADU) to vacate office and allow for the conduct of a fresh election having completed its tenure.

 

The meeting which was attended by prominent Awka sons turned out to be power play of sort as the disbanded leaders of the community having had a clue into the reason for the meeting had tried to scuttle it using security forces and citing it as an unauthorized gathering.

 

The meeting however proceeded when elites from Awka town intervened through higher authorities, leading to the withdrawal of security forces sent in to stop the convergence.

 

Sources who spoke to our correspondent said that the Engr Tony Okechukwu led executive were reluctant to conduct any election into the executive because they want to continue to remain in office, despite having exhausted their three year term.

 

To forestall a vacuum, seven representatives were appointed from all the communities in the town to constitute a caretaker committee to oversee the affairs of the town, with a charge to conduct election for the town within a space of three months.

 

Chief Amobi Daniel Nwokafor, a prominent son of the town in an interview with our correspondent said that no one can hold the town to ransom because whatever position the members of the executive occupy were entrusted to them by the town.

 

“The same people today have converged to take from them the position having served out their tenure, and as you saw here today the Ozos(title men) in the community have decreed that so shall it be, and according to our culture, no one has the power to challenge that.”

 

The caretaker committee is to be headed by Chief Chike Obuekwe and six other members from all the communities in the town, including Nduchris Nwanna, a journalist with Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria(FRCN).

 

Comrade Ochije Obi, an indigene of the town expressed happiness with the strides of Chief Willie Obiano in Awka as governor, calling on him to dissociate himself from people like the disbanded leader, who would want to plunge the town into crisis to rubbish the achievement of his government.

DRAMA AS PHILANTHROPIST STOPS FLAVOUR FROM PERFORMING IN AWKA, CHASES HIM OUT

Popular musician, Flavour was today(Sunday) humiliated in Awka as he made to hit the stage with his music.

The Flavour Nabania cronner was to perform at the 50^th birthday ceremony and 15^th Anniversary of the foundation of an Anambra philanthropist, Dr Mrs Nkoli Imo of Adadioranma Foundation.

Trouble started for flavor when as at 3pm, he was still yet to arrive, despite that his boys had set up their musical equipments and the guests were already itching to have him play.

Consequent upon his lateness, a local musician was brought in to play and usher in the celebrant, almost immediately after, Flavour arrived the Emmaus House venue of the event.

Though it was not clear if Flavour had been held back by circumstances beyond him, but despite his lateness, he refused to hit stage when he arrived, instead insisting on being given security because a large crowd of young people besieged his car when his arrival was announced.

Flavour hopped out of his car and made straight to the musical stand where his boys were and squeezed himself into a corner, almost shying away from the barrage of camera phones that tried to pick him out.

Unknowing to him, the celebrant was already unhappy with him, and when he made to begin his performance, the celebrant objected to his playing, citing his arrogance, lateness and the near emptiness of the VIP stand.

The celebrant ELEKENEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM further gathered was irked by the fact that his special guests which included Senator, Members of the house of reps and other top politicians had taken their leave before Flavour finally accepted to play.

“Tell him not to play any music here, and let him get prepared to give me back my money”, the philanthropist bellowed at Flavours Manager who tried to approach her.

Meanwhile, a crowed was already gathering at the venue as people from their homes who heard the artiste was in town abandoned everything to come get a glimpse of him and were disappointed that he was not able to play at last.

While some of the spectators blamed Flavour for his arrogance since he attained stardom and praising the woman for humiliating him, others cursed the philanthropist for not letting their idol play.

ELEKENEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM gathered that Flavour had been mobilized with over N3million for the show, and balance was still awaited.

It was a thoroughly humiliated Flavour that was led back to his car by security agents at about 5pm after all pleas by his managers, security men and aides of the philanthropist for him to play failed.
