businessmen, Prince Arthur Eze, on Thursday said the irregularities
associated with last Saturday's governorship election in Anambra State should be blamed on...
the state governor, Mr. Peter Obi.
Eze, who financially bankrolled the electioneering campaign of the PDP
candidate, Tony Nwoye, was speaking with State House correspondence at
the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He maintained that Governor Obi championed the rigging of the election
against the wish of the people in the state.
He said: "Obi committed a crime and rigged election against the poor
people and brought his man, Obiano. For eight years, there were no
longer local government elections in Anambra, now he brought Obiano,
his treasurer to take over from him. Now, Obiano will spend eight
years and bring somebody, then we are in trouble.
"It's for the poor, not for me, the needy, and the orphan. Not me, I
am an old man, I am going. It's because of the poor that I am crying."
On whether he backs the call for the election to be cancelled, he
said, "Jega is very emotional; he is a very straightforward human
being. He said this election was an act of sabotage. He was frank and
God will advise him on what to do".
"Go and pray. What is going to happen in Anambra will happen in so
many places. Pray for yourselves, not for us, we are gone, we are
aged."
Expressing his fears on the 2015 general election, Eze said: "I don't
want criminals to take over in 2015. That is why I am crying."
I still don't get why Peter Obi hasn't publicly condemned the election. His strategy worked I guess. I saw the Igwe of Awka, Gibson Nwosuu on AIT yesterday praising INEC for the 'peaceful' conduct of the election. Still watching INEC closely to see if the supplementary election would still hold or they'll do the right thing by conducting fresh elections.
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly do you want Peter Obi to come out and say please. Has anyone come out to say peter paid him to rig election or what. He is the out going governor if anyone feels the election was rigged then they should go find prove. Conducting the election is not d most important tin because it can also be rigged again
