The saying that nothing
hides forever is an eternal
truth. The intrigues behind
the "jaga jaga" election
conducted by INEC in
Anambra State last
Saturday has finally come
out to the open. The
principal actor in the
criticised and highly
controversial governorship
election which took place
on November 16 has
made some very sterling
revelations to the men
who are interrogating him
in Abuja.
“The way this whole
thing is going, it
looks as if many
heads will roll in
INEC because the
young man has
made useful
statements and if
what he said is
anything to rely
upon, it then means
that some big names
in that commission
might fall with him.
“At first, he was
trying to rationalise
his action in that
local government
area when he was
verbally quizzed
before the
intervention of the
police; but, after
some time, especially
at the point of his
detention, he started
to cooperate but the
cooperation is loaded
because he has
mentioned some top
officials of INEC,
especially directors
and a PDP chieftain ,
as those who ‘put
him in trouble’."
Mr Okeke Chukwujekwu is
the arrested INEC electoral
officer...
He was in charge of
Idemili North local
government of Anambra
State, but currently in
police detention over his
role in the rigging, was
said to have confessed to
his investigators that he
did not rig the election
alone, adding that “I was
used and dumped”.
The chairman of the
Independent National
Electoral Commission
(INEC), Professor Attahiru
Jega, had, in the heat of
the controversies
generated by the flawed
poll, admitted that the
“electoral officer” in
Idemili North “messed up”
and that he would be
handed over to the police
for prosecution.
Chukwujekwu was moved
to Abuja on Sunday, just
as INEC said it is
conducting a probe into
the deliberate sabotage of
the governorship election.
A top official involved in
the election opened up to
LEADERSHIP on Tuesday
that the arrested INEC
official had confessed,
and it appears that top
directors in INEC might be
“implicated” for their
involvement.
The source declined to
disclose the identities of
those involved, but said
“preliminary confessions”
point to the fact that the
bungled election in most
LGAs of the state was
“packaged by aggrieved
politicians in connivance
with top INEC officials
both in Abuja and Awka”
adding: “It was a well-
funded package.”
“All fingers point to some
aggrieved politicians and
it was a well-funded
package that involved
quite a lot of people; that
is why the man is saying
he has been used and
dumped ,” the inside
source said.
A source in Abuja had
told OluFamous.Com on
Tuesday that PDP is
working with APGA to rig
the election for the APGA
candidate, that is why
they are not even bother
that their own candidate
did not find his name and
those of his family
members in the voters
register.
