The issues militating against
Governor Peter Obi's anointed
candidate in the November 16
governorship pool in Anambra
State is increasing by the day.
Despite an insistence by Willie
Obiano, the governorship
candidate of APGA, that he did
not engage in multiple
registrations, damning evidence
has now emerged that he did.
The proof that Mr. Obiano
registered multiple times might
put his candidature in serious
trouble, a source at the electoral
commission said. The
revelations came after an
Anambra State High Court had
granted the candidate a weird
injunction to shield him from
criminal prosecution.
Evidence of Obiano double
registration in Anambra State
below:
Unimpeachable documents
obtained by Sahara Reporters
show that Mr. Obiano registered
more than once, an act that
violates the law. On August 21,
2013, he was issued a voter
identification number (VIN)
90F5B12B88377091121. Then,
at 10.25 a.m., on September 3,
2013, he was given another
voter identification number
90F5B15E7D378200332. A third
registration car has also
emerged from Kosofe Local
Government area in Lagos.
Except for the fact that the APGA
candidate wore different clothes,
all the information in the three
registrations remained the same.
In the cards, he was registered
as “Obiano, Maduabuchi Willie.”
His address in both documents
was given as “No. 1 Chief Willie
Obiano Street, Otuocha” just as
his date of birth was recorded as
August 8, 1955. His age on both
cards was recorded as 56.
The watermarks on the cards
clearly show the different voter
identification numbers as well as
different issuing dates and times,
though the name of the
candidate was unchanged.
“It is against the law to register
more than once,” a source at
INEC told SaharaReporters
today. Section 12(2) of the
Electoral Act 2010 (as amended)
provides that “A person shall not
register in more than one
registration center or register
more than once in the same
registration center.” Section
12(3) then states that any
person who contravenes the law
would be liable “on conviction to
a fine not exceeding N100,000
or imprisonment.”
