Owerri- The Imo state Governorship candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Senator Athan Achonu, on Saturday rejected the plot to collate results in the local government area headquarters in Imo.
Senator Achonu insisted that collation of results should be done in the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, designated areas and not LGA headquarters and that he would apply the law adequately to stop it. Achonu among other things said: “INEC should ensure they provide adequate security in all polling units and Collation Centres in Imo State so that no eligible voter is disenfranchised.
“In the last two weeks, video evidences in circulation show that communities where APC leaders are harvesting details of Voter Cards. This is criminal and an attempt to subvert the will of the people. I call on INEC and security agents to be alert and checkmate these efforts at rigging the election and ensure that sensitive materials do not get into the wrong hands.”
