Peter Obi cries out, reveals what INEC did to South East

Vice presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mr. Peter Obi, has claimed that there was a clear disfranchisement of over 8 million people of the south-east region of the country in the Saturday’s presidential and national assembly elections.

He added that states like Anambra with 2.4m registered voters could only boast of more than 600,000 votes, despite the huge turn out on election day, while states in ‘war-torn’ north with 1.2 million voters could achieve as much as one million votes.

He said a situation where the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) adopted different measures for the conduct of election for different parts of the country is not acceptable.

He observed that card readers were used in conducting elections, especially in PDP strongholds even when they (card readers) did not work, while accreditation was done manually in its opponent’s areas and the results were accepted.

“I noticed on the day of the election that several card readers were not working. I also noticed that during the voting the process was clumsy because card readers were not functioning and where they worked they were slow.

“They did not work in highly concentrated areas. This is why in Anambra of the over 2.4 million registered voters only 600,000 voted.
“Yet in some parts of this country people voted without card readers, yet all votes counted.”

He lamented,
