The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to cancel the governorship results in three councils – Obingwa, Osisioma and Isiala Ngwa North.
Returning Officer Prof Benjamin Ozumba had cancelled results of the three councils, alleging malpractices and violence.
Speaking with reporters in Umuahia, Umeh said the Returning officer, who earlier cancelled the results, was allegedly prevailed upon by top Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members to rescind his decision.
Umeh wondered how Ozumba could generate 82, 240 votes when the same council gave President Goodluck Jonathan only 16,000 votes.
He said results from the three councils should be cancelled.
In the same vein, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for the cancellation of the elections over alleged electoral fraud.
APC asked INEC Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega, to investigate the alleged role of the PDP, APGA and INEC officials in the alleged malpractices.
The party’s candidate, Chief Anyim Nyerere, made the call in Umuahia.
Nyerere decried the high rate of ballot box snatching, shooting and other forms of violence.
