A group, Save Awgu Forum Enugu (SAFE) has called for the cancellation of last Saturday’s House of Assembly elections in Awgu Local Government Area.
The group alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) used the military to intimidate candidates of the People for Democratic Change (PDC).
Leader of SAFE, Baywood Ibe said: “The big politicians in PDP brought military men to intimidate the PDC candidates. That is why we are calling for a cancellation of the result.
“The thugs snatched ballot boxes, falsified the results in connivance with the military men. We have petitioned the Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Kenneth Minimah, Department of State Security (DSS) and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“We will surely seek redress in court. Awgu people have been marginalised because of the antics of these PDP politicians in Enugu West. They have moved to intimidate Awgu people.
“If you look at the result, the number of accredited voters did not tally with the result. They chased people away and declared bogus result.
“We have incontrovertible evidence on this issue and will challenge the matter in court,” Ibe said.
