PDP'S CANDIDATE, NWOYE'S NAME MISSING IN VOTERS REGISTER

THE Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the
Anambra, Mr. Tony Nwoye could not vote in Saturday's election as he
could not find his name in the voter's register at his Nsugbe Ward 1
polling booth in Anambra East Local Government Area.
Also, his parents were unable to vote just as he alleged that over 30
percent of his supporters were disenfranchised as they could not trace
their names in the register.
INEC officials on ground could not give reasons for the omission of
their names even when they were all carrying valid voters card.
Nwoye who spoke to reporters said the rigging of the election was
pre-planned and the style adopted by APGA in connivance with INEC was
to remove people's name from the voter's register especially in areas
where APGA lacked support.
Nwoye said the same list that was used to disenfranchise him and his
parents was the same list that we used in voting in the last election
and wondered how this time around over 30 percent of the registered
names were missing.
He said he tried to communicate to the INEC boss Attahiru Jega but he
was incommunicado.
Nwoye at the Polling unit…
"Unlike during the time of Iwu when I was the PDP chairman in the
state, you get him with just one dial," he posited.
Nwoye said as at now, the only option for him is to resign himself to
fate until the results of the elections were released.
But he expressed optimism that despite the plot to disenfranachise him
and his supporters in his hometown, he would still emerge victorious.
