Labour Party Gubernatorial candidate for the Abia state governorship election, Dr. Alex Otti has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission, for suspending the Collation of the Obingwa LGAs result.
Otti while speaking to his supporters who had gathered in his campaign office in Umuahia. According to him, INEC had done the right thing, he, first of all, thanked those who came out, expecting to hear the final collation and announcement of results.
He further said, that unfortunately, INEC reported that the Collation from Obingwa LGA is suspended and is also postponed. Due to the incident that occurred in the LGA, the Collation of results needed to be Suspended.
He also confirmed that those who unleashed terror on election day are not residents of Obingwa LGA, they are hired thugs, hired by whosoever to disrupt the election process.
He stated, “Let me start by thanking everyone who came out spontaneously today, expecting that INEC was going to complete the collation and announce the result.
“Unfortunately, we have received a report from INEC that they have suspended the collation from Obingwa LGA and also postponed the return and declaration, which should have happened today.
“I think it is appropriate that INEC did that.
“If you have followed all the things that have happened since Saturday, it is very clear that Obingwa LGA has turned itself into a terror.
“And it is not Obingwa indigenes or residents
So many things go underneath Nigerian politics, elections are barely free and fair, as thugs are being hired to disrupt the process, and political parties are not innocent in this, as they attack and fight themselves.
