The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) can only run but can not hide.
It is getting clearer that the November 6, 2021, governorship election was not credible.
It was gathered that the total number of registered voters in the areas where INEC refused to conduct election in Anambra State on November 6 and 9 is about 517,000.
About 517,000 voters were unjustly disenfranchised, yet INEC went ahead to declare the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) winner with about 112,000 votes.
Meanwhile, the electoral act specifically stated that if the total number of registered persons in the areas where elections couldn’t hold or were cancelled are more than the margin of lead where INEC conducted the election, no declaration should be made until INEC goes back and complete the exercise.
So INEC erred and that’s part of the reason the commission is refusing to issue a Certified True Copies (CTC) of the results of the election because the CTC will expose areas where INEC collated the results upon which APGA was declared winner.
Therefore, with this finding, the Tribunal will nullify the declaration in favour of the Anambra State governor-elect, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, and APGA.
It is not sentiment. It is the law and it must run its full course.
We shall continue to expose more as we wait on the tribunal.
