APC Alleges Plot by ENSIEC to Doctor Council Poll Results

Christopher Isiguzo Barely 48 hours to the November 4 Local Government election in Enugu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday accused some unnamed officials of the State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC) of plotting to manipulate the results of the election in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The party Chairman, Ben Nwoye told journalists that the APC had it on good authority that some unpopular members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, were working in connivance with some ENSIEC staff to truncate the will of the people.

He, however, vowed that if such acts were carried out, the party would ensure that criminal complaints were filed against such ENSIEC staff, collaborating security personnel and politicians.

“We have it on good authority that there is last ditch effort by the ENSIEC, in connivance with some members of the PDP to rig the election.

“We want to place ENSIEC and those involved that we will criminalise complaint against them if they carry out that plan.

“They are making effort to rig our places of strength, which include: Awgu, Oji-River, Udi, Aninri, Enugu-South, Enugu-East, Igbo-Eze North and Igbo-Eze South, as well as Igbo-Etiti.

“They are going to seize the result sheet, cause commotion in these local government areas, ensure that there will be no election, announce the result later, and then tell us to go to court”, Nwoye alleged.

He declared further that, “this high-level plot will fail; we are going to resist it; security agents should be at alert.
