JOINT PRESS RELEASE CALL FOR CANCELLATION OF ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION We, Senator Dr. Chris Nwabueze Ngige, Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah and Comrade Tony Nwoye, candidates of All Progressives Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) respectively, hereby call for the total cancellation of Anambra State Governorship Election held on the 16th Nov. 2013. ...We are making this clarion call for total cancellation of the election because it was marred by gross irregularities emanating from:- 1. Gross manipulation of the Voters Register leading to disenfranchisement of thousands of innocent voters 2. Illegal removal of result sheets, doctoring of the said result sheets and massive removal of ballot booklet and thumb – printing of the said ballot papers 3. Harassment and intimidation of Polling Agents and voters by security officials and party thugs 4. Use of Voters Registers in some Local Government Councils different from the Voters Registers made available to candidates 5. Late arrival of electoral materials 6. Manufacturing of results in many polling units where no voting took place We are of the candid view that the sham election does not reflect the wishes and aspirations of Anambra voters. Our call for the cancellation of this election is reinforced by the public admission by Professor Attahiru Jega, the INEC chairman that some INEC staff sabotaged the conduct of the Election. This call for the cancellation of the Election would have been unnecessary if INEC had postponed the conduct of the election after becoming aware of the sabotage of the election by INEC officials. Signed ………………………………………….. Sen. Dr.Chris N. Ngige (APC) ………………………………………….. Dr. Patric Ifeanyi Ubah (LP) ………………………………………….. Comrade Tony Nwoye (PDP) 17TH NOV. 2013
