Labour’s Alex Otti alleges PDP plot to rig Abia governorship poll

I want to use this opportunity to call on the Federal government and particularly the INEC chairman to ensure that the right thing is done in Abia State.

PRESS RELEASE • March 18, 2023

From virtually all the results uploaded and released, Labour Party won by landslide.

Unfortunately, the PDP government has refused to allow some of the results stand, and they are doing this with the active connivance of some compromised INEC Staff and some security agents.

The LGs involved are Obingwa, where the outgoing governor is from, Osisioma, Aba North and Aba South, where we won overwhelmingly.

Obingwa is a very interesting case because in the majority of the wards, with the active connivance of INEC, the BVAS was not used, so they are making effort to push in fake results.

I want to use this opportunity to call on the Federal government and particularly the INEC chairman to ensure that the right thing is done in Abia State. So I expect that any result that is not coming out of BIVAS accreditation will not be accepted.

I urge the INEC chairman to prevail on the INEC resident electoral commissioner for Abia and other INEC staff to give peace a chance and ensure that the right thing is done.
