The All Progressives Congress (APC), Anambra State, has described the recently concluded governorship election as a monumental fraud.
The state Chairman of the Party, Mr. Basil Ejidike, said this during a press conference in Awka, the state capital, on Sunday while reacting to a statement credited to the erstwhile State Publicity Secretary, Mr. Okelo Mmadukaife, that the APC in the state has congratulated the Governor-elect and candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), , Charles Soludu.
According to him, the party is law-abiding and will never identify with illegality, brazen impunity and fraud and so will not congratulate the declared winner.
Ejidike, therefore, urged that such information should be totally disregarded.
While the party executive says they are still consulting on the next line of action, they officially, announced the suspension of the Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Okelo Mmadukaife, for anti-party activities and have replaced him with Mr. Nonso Chinweuba, who has been functioning in acting capacity for the past five months.
The party notified the public that every information emanating from any other source other than its chairman or the Acting Publicity Secretary should be considered as fake.
TheNewsGuru.com, TNG reports that the election held on November 6 with a supplementary poll in Ihiala LG on Tuesday. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday declared Soludo winner of the poll and had since presented a Certificate of Return to him and his deputy.
