Imo Guber: Another “Omuma Magic” Uncovered at Eziama Ikeduru – Booth 021 – PDP

…APC leader, Others Fingered

The Governorship Campaign Organization of the Peoples Democratic Party in Imo state is greatly dismayed to inform the general public of the discovery of another controversal “Omuma Magic” at booth 021, Ugirike-Okwu-Eziama Ward, in Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo state.

The revelation was contained in a statement issued by Ikenna ONUOHA, Director, Media and Publicity, Imo PDP Governorship Campaign Organisation.

The statement reads in parts:

“For the sake of clarity, this polling unit belongs to a popular APC leader in the LGA whose son is representing Mbaitoli/Ikeduru at the Green Chambers. The said APC leader has been accused of manipulating the last House of Assembly and National Assembly election results using the same trick.

“The polling unit in question has 1, 382 registered voters, out of which, 97% percent of them are stranger elements, mostly from Hausa and Yoruba tribes. Non of these strange persons representing the 97% percent are indigenes of Eziama, nor reside within the environs.

“It is worthy to note that Eziama Ikeduru is so remote without factory or industry to warrant this number of strangers registering as potential voters if not an orchestrated ploy by this APC leader to leverage on the fictitious and non existent names to subvert the wishes of the people.

“Regrettably, most of them with female names are represented with male pictures, while their male counterparts are represented with female pictures. The question now is; which business are these strangers doing in Eziama Ikeduru to the extent of being captured as potential voters when indigenes of the village barley recognize any of them?

“Credible information obtained indicates that the same popular APC leader is allegedly working in connivance with some senior INEC Officials in Imo and Ebonyi States to import unused Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) machines into the state for the purposes of uploading non existent figures into the system.

“Our campaign council wishes to call on the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Mamood Yakubu, the Inspector General of Police, Director of State Security Service and Civil Society Organizations to investigate this revelation urgently and correct this anomaly to avoid a break down of law and order”.
