How dead people voted in Imo—Nwosu
The 2019 Imo governorship candidate of Action Alliance(AA), Uche Nwosu, yesterday said that names of dead people were found among those that voted in the March election in Imo State.
Speaking in Owerri, Nwosu claimed that even the families of the dead people have confirmed the information. Among the three local government areas, Nwosu mentioned were Aboh, Ahiazu and Ezinihitte Mbaise.
He said the story of the dead people voting was the outcome of a forensic survey carried out by his team in the located areas.
This came after the tribunal was said to have granted a leave to Nwosu to inspect the materials used for the elections as requested by the AA candidate.
According to Nwosu, “it was shocking to discover that dead persons were among those that voted for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Emeka Ihedioha in Aboh Mbaise, Ezinihitte and Ahiazu Local Government Areas where he got unimaginable figures.
“After the election, I made it clear to my supporters that there was no election in Aboh Mbaise, Ahiazu and Ezinihitte. I told them that my results were changed in favour of Ihedioha.
“After we got certified true copies of the election materials, to our greatest surprise, we discovered that hundreds of dead people voted for Ihedioha.
“We have people who came to tell us that the names of their relations that died long ago were in the list of registered voters and they actually voted.
“We also discovered to our utmost dismay that what the Returning Officer, Professor Francis Otunta declared was totally different from the total number of registered voters that the Card Reader recorded, especially in those three Local Government areas.
“I have never seen this high level of manipulation and electoral fraud but I have high hopes in the judiciary and that is why we are relying on the tribunal to get justice.
“There was credible election in the areas where I won. People voted and the figures were justified.
“I challenge anybody to go and check the results of the local government areas where I won, unlike the three local government areas aforementioned.”
