Arrested INEC Officer Confesses: How We Rigged Anambra Poll by Obascoetubi: 7:44am On Nov 20, 2013 |
The saying that nothing hides forever is an eternal truth. The intrigues behind the "jaga jaga" election conducted by INEC in Anambra State last Saturday has finally come out to the open. The principal actor in the criticised and highly controversial governorship election which took place on November 16 has made some very sterling revelations to the men who are interrogating him in Abuja. “The way this whole thing is going, it looks as if many heads will roll in INEC because the young man has made useful statements and if what he said is anything to rely upon, it then means that some big names in that commission might fall with him. “At first, he was trying to rationalise his action in that local government area when he was verbally quizzed before the intervention of the police; but, after some time, especially at the point of his detention, he started to cooperate but the cooperation is loaded because he has mentioned some top officials of INEC, especially directors and a PDP chieftain , as those who ‘put him in trouble’." Mr Okeke Chukwujekwu is the arrested INEC electoral officer... He was in charge of Idemili North local government of Anambra State, but currently in police detention over his role in the rigging, was said to have confessed to his investigators that he did not rig the election alone, adding that “I was used and dumped”. The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, had, in the heat of the controversies generated by the flawed poll, admitted that the “electoral officer” in Idemili North “messed up” and that he would be handed over to the police for prosecution. Chukwujekwu was moved to Abuja on Sunday, just as INEC said it is conducting a probe into the deliberate sabotage of the governorship election. A top official involved in the election opened up to LEADERSHIP on Tuesday that the arrested INEC official had confessed, and it appears that top directors in INEC might be “implicated” for their involvement. The source declined to disclose the identities of those involved, but said “preliminary confessions” point to the fact that the bungled election in most LGAs of the state was “packaged by aggrieved politicians in connivance with top INEC officials both in Abuja and Awka” adding: “It was a well- funded package.” “All fingers point to some aggrieved politicians and it was a well-funded package that involved quite a lot of people; that is why the man is saying he has been used and dumped ,” the inside source said. A source in Abuja had told OluFamous.Com on Tuesday that PDP is working with APGA to rig the election for the APGA candidate, that is why they are not even bother that their own candidate did not find his name and those of his family members in the voters register. http://obascotec..com/2013/11/arrested-inec-officer-confesses-how-we.html?m=1 |
