Anambra Governorship Election: APC buying voters card — APGA says

Ahead of this year’s governorship election in Anambra state, the All Progressives Grand Alliance has accused its major opponent in the election, the All Progressives Congress, of buying up voters cards in the area, apparently to rig the poll.

APGA said the APC was doing that in the guise of registration of members exercise in the state

The APGA, through the state-owned Anambra Broadcasting Service, warned the people of the state not to allow themselves to be hoodwinked by politicians.

It alleged that the APC was asking people to submit their voters’ cards after the on-going APC Membership Continuous Registration Exercise in the state.

It asked the people not to be disenfranchised by selling their voting rights.

Reacting, the All Progressives Congress denied the allegation.

The Secretary of the Anambra State APC Continuous Registration Committee, Mr. Ford Ozumba dismissed the allegation, saying that it was ‘neither here, nor there’.

He said the committee’s specific mandate was to register new members and revalidate the membership of the old members “and not to buy voters cards”.
