Abia gubernatorial election which was declared inconclusive by the
electoral authorities have been scheduled for the 25th April 2015 for
a rerun election.
The said election was deemed inconclusive under mysterious conditions
by the Resident Electoral Commissioner [REC] after having collated the
entire results without rancor - or cause for cancellation for the said
affected areas. But the sudden halt in the announcement of the results
by the REC, resulted in the suspicious delay of announcement that the
election was deemed inconclusive.
According to allegations from insiders within the INEC offices, the
sum of N50million was offered the INEC REC to halt the election and to
declared it inconclusive. The source also revealed that the money was
backed up by death threats to his person and to his family. The REC is
said to also be receiving pressure from Captain Ihejirika to tilt the
activities towards the advantage of the All Progressive Grand Alliance
[APGA] candidate, Alex Otti. A onetime governor Abia State, Mr. Orji
Uzor Kalu is also said to be weighing his share of pressure on the REC
to yeild to the APGA candidate.
Thus far, the areas scheduled for rerun are said to be area where the
Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] won overwhelming.
