The All Progressive Grand Alliance has urged the President-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to probe what it described as election frauds in Abia State when he assumes office on May 29.

APGA National Chairman, Chief Victor Umeh, who made the call at a joint press conference with the party’s governorship candidate in Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti, on Sunday in Umuahia, rejected the result of the poll and vowed that the party would challenge it at the election petitions tribunal.

He alleged that “while other parts of the country are celebrating democracy, the Independent National Electoral Commission used the South-East for experiment.”

Umeh alleged that both the April 11 governorship poll and the April 25 rerun in Abia State were marred by irregularities.

He accused the INEC of colluding with the Peoples Democratic Party to rig the poll in favour of PDP’s candidate.

He expressed shock that INEC ignored APGA’s earlier call for the outright cancellation of the controversial results from three Local Government Areas on April 11 poll, but instead reinstated the cancelled results.

Umeh said, “The controversy that was generated by the Returning Officer in restating the election results he had cancelled in Obingwa, Osisioma and Isialangwa North, necessitated APGA’s earlier call for the cancellation of the ” out of the reality figures from the affected councils.”

Umeh insisted that INEC ought to have sustained the cancellation of the results from the three council areas as it did in Imo State in 2011, alleging that “even the rerun was held under incoherent preparations as up till Friday night, details of polling units, where election was to hold, remained speculative.”

He claimed that the election was won by APGA but manipulated in favour of PDP, vowing to head to the tribunal to seek redress.

“APGA rejects the result of the poll as announced not because we cannot lose election but can accept losing election through credible process. We won the election clearly but our mandate was stollen.

“Accordingly, we will not resort to self help; we will challenge the result at the tribunal “, he vowed.

He promised that “APGA will firmly stand by Otti until he reclaims his stolen mandate,” he added.

Umeh said Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has restated his commitment to ensuring that Otti gets justice.

Otti thanked Abians for “their massive support ” for him, and appealed to them to remain calm and prayerful as he heads for the tribunal.

He vowed to stop at nothing in reclaiming his ” stolen mandate”.

“Election has come and gone but the battle has just started. Evil cannot prevail over good but if it seems to prevail, it is only for a while.

“Weeping can only endure for a night, joy comes in the morning. We will not resort to brigandage because two wrongs cannot make a right, Otti added.

He alleged that voters were intimidated and scared from the polling units by coffins paraded in Aba on the eve of the election by suspected PDP sympathisers.

Otti said the rerun was fraudulently cancelled in Umunneochi council under questionable circumstances after it had been listed by INEC, and accused the electoral umpire of complicity.

I Like how this is going..
Grabs popcorn..
But seriously, electoral malpractice in SS/SE states is somewhat worrisome.. I can't believe some persons still want to stick to the archaic way of doing thing.. I believe there is a time to grow up..and that time is now..

Passing by

Just go to court, simple. Buhari's direct involvement in a probe would be seen in a different light by PDP supporters

Thesame apga that was in connivance with pdp to rig against buhari during presidential election is now begging BUHARI to probe a crime it was an accomplice in carrying out? This people are shameless.





APGA may you lose the only state you have and cease to exist as an opposition party in Nigeria.White-elephant party!

Caseless:
Thesame apga that was in connivance with pdp to rig against buhari?

The hypocricy abi na childishness tire me. He for mention march 28 na.

In fact, I like what PDP did to APGA in Abia....since APGA forgot they were supposed to be a political party in their own right and not a subsidiary of PDP

Little wonder governor Obiano is now seeking a better alliance

sure ! Obianno is a smart guy. He's going to be one of the best thing to happen to that region. I supported ngige, but I don't regret obiano's emergence as the winner then.






APGA cannot last one year from now. The lousy victor umeh had the guts to even call BUHARI's name. Someone should have slapped him for me upon hearing that nonsense coming out of his mouth.

Why are these ibos always calling Buhari to come to their rescue? Is he now their new messiah?



SMH for the Igbos.

You home is full of banana's, you invite monkey in. Good luck trying to chase the monkey away. Self created problems. PDP will die there.

The same man you cursed ... These guys are foohls

These people are shameless...

I tell u nothing is impossible o.......apga now see buhari as the mesiah that can put things in order....and when APC was asking for their endorsment they were like TAAAH geehhht aweeeyh yuu thatii old man that will soon die......abeg baba no be tribunal

Stfu.
Dem fence your eye/ear when Northerners dey use underage voters?
The moment una hear anything comcerning PDP/SE/SS, una BP go high

Interesting times ahead, indeed.

Wow. I thought they said only APC doesn't accept results of polls conducted. When Buhari said what happened in some parts of the SE was nothing but a sham, they said he's "drawn Battle lines with the South East and South South". Now here are their brothers speaking in an even more critical tone than the General. Wonder what they are gonna say to them. Call them "gambari slaves" maybe.

Smh.

Where did he "urge Buhari"? Wannabe wannabes.

Baba Buhari don't mind them. Pdp vs Apga na family affair.

Let Pdp teach them a lesson in that region.

Soon APGA would be like KOWA

Mumu party, like the son of a thief, telling Police man to arrest his father.

Which of the Buhari, is it the same one APGA as a party told his members to vote against for their preferred and endorsed Jonathan? I suggest they should take their case to Azikwe Ebele Jonathan at Otueke.

The comments are hilarious

This reminds me of my igbo friend back in sec school....He was so stingy, he doesn't share his food or snacks with anyone, BUT when he doesn't have food again, he starts begging everyone in the class for food with an innocent face as if he has not eaten for days!....

just form an alliance with him

The worse and clueless party I ever known. Even there national chairman couldn't win a senatorial seat in a state they have stronghold. How do they expect to win another state..........chickens

When will south east have sense? u didnt vote for buhari, now u want him to work for u more than any region? well u ve to live with the consequences of ur stupid action.



last bullet: when u were romancing PDP did u call buhari?
