The Abia State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Anthony Agbazuere, has alleged that one of the parties has begun house-to-house buying of voter cards to clone them, disenfranchise the electorate and rig elections. Addressing reporters in Umuahia on the outcome of the executive council (exco) meeting, he alleged that the party and its agents asked the electorate at Item in Bende Local Government to sell their cards. Agbazuere said the matter was being investigated and urged voters to resist selling their cards for any amount. He said the exco congratulated Governor Theodore Orji for hosting the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) presidential and governorship campaign in Umuahia, noting that many people attended the event, following the governor’s achievements. The commissioner hailed the people for their turnout at the rally. He said government awarded contracts for the installation of super solar-powered traffic lights at junctions in Umuahia, at the cost of N110million, to control traffic. They are expected to cover Okpara Square, Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Isigate-Umuwaya, BCA, Uzuakoli Road junctions and Government House roundabout. Agbazuere assured that the projects would be completed before the end of the tenure of the Orji administration.
