The opposition Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), in Anambra State, said Monday that it has uncovered plans by the All Progressive Congress (APC), to rig the forthcoming November 6th governorship election in the state.

The party alleged that President Mohammadu Buhari and the APC National Working Committee (NWC), are out to perfect the plots that would pave way for rig the poll in favour of the APC.

Chairman of PRP in the state, Hon. Mathias Aninwachukwu stated during an interview with newsmen shortly after the stakeholders meeting held at the resident of the Party’s candidate Dr. Nnamdi Nwawou in Nando town in Anambra east Local government area.

He said the leadership of the party and other political parties contesting the election would not allow such a ploy to happen in Anambra State.

According to him, we got to know about this wicked act allegedly through a Senator from Kogi State who revealed to us that the visit to President Mohammadu Buhari by the APC Candidate, Senator Andy Uba, was an open announcement to Nigerians that the Anambra election is going to be allegedly rigged in favour of APC candidate.

“We in the Southeast, we are tire of politics of voting for a particular candidate in an election and INEC announce another candidate winner. We will not allow what happened in Imo State to repeat here in Anambra state”.

He said, “If God said is Senator Andy Uba, that will take over governance from governor Willie Obiano, so let it be in a free and fair contest, and not by rigging.”

Aninwachukwu however appealed to the President to allow room for free and fair contests during the poll in the interest of peace.

The PRP governorship candidate, Dr. Nnamdi Nwawou, said that APC was allegedly plotting to rig the election because, they are afraid of him as a traditionalist, whom God and the God’s of the land have chosen to liberate majority of Ndi-Anambra from poverty.

He appealed to his supporters and security agencies to be vigilant and resist every plan, aimed at subverting the wish and will of the people of Anambra State.

“I also urge INEC to caution its staff, including all the Ad hoc to ensure that only voters’ cards that are registered in Anambra State are admitted for the purpose of voting during the election.
