The All Progressive Congress (APC) Abia State Chapter has rejected the result declared by the Abia State Independent Electoral Commission (ABSIEC) were the People Democratic Party won the Chairmanship seats in the 17 Local Government Areas of Abia. In a press release signed by the APC spokesman in Abia Comrade Benedict C. Godson,the party described the results of the 18th December, 2020 council Poll declared by ABSIEC as charade not election.

According to Comrade Godson Abians voted for APC. He went further to posit that the only opportunity we have to correct bad leadership in Abia was hijacked by the Peoples Democratic Party and their agents in Abia State Independent Electoral Commission (ABSIEC),he asserted.

The main opposition party in Abia said it s a pity that a political party that has been running around and shouting about free and fair election could be given a simple opportunity to coordinate an LGA election to show the world something new, but they decided to showcase their usual stock in trade which is massive rigging and forceful imposition of leadership.

The party also took a swipe on the ABSIEC chairman Prof. Mkpa Agu Mkpa,saying he has done what he was paid to do and the All Progressives Congress, Abia State Chapter rejects all results of the Local Government Chairmanship charade called election,the party said.

The APC went further to describe the election as just an absurd pretense intended to create a pleasant or respectable means of re-appointing the usual 17 financial conduit pipes used in siphoning Abia’s common wealth.

The APC however stated that ,they are not saying people didn’t vote in all the 17 LGAs,rather what the party is saying is that Abia people voted massively for the APC where elections took place, but ABSIEC did the job PDP asked them to do which is to change the results.The Abia APC also alleged that , there was no election in Bende, Arochukwu, Ohafia, Ugwunagbo, Aba South and Aba North LGAs. The APC therefore called for the cancellation of what it described as deceitful and falsified results produced by ABSIEC in those six LGAs.

On the result from Ukwa East, The APC demanded for Chief Ugochuckwu Nduwuisi to be declared the winner of that election because according to them he won it. The APC opined that ,this is the first time in history where people voted and after voting, the LGA secretariat was locked up and all materials were taken to the house of a big PDP leader in Ukwa East where they changed everything to suit their plans.

As for Umunneochi LGA, the party also demanded for Hon. Frank Chucks be declared winner of that election because for the APC he won handsomely and anything short of declaring him winner is tantamount to denying the people of Umunneochi their wishes.

The APC also stated that Mkpa should realize that he’s the reason why Abia rural dwellers including those from his immediate family will keep suffering. All those who wrote results for the PDP should realize that they are responsible for the death of all those pregnant women that may die as a result of poor health facilities in our rural health centres.

And all those who sponsored Mkpa Agu Mkpa to steal the mandate of our people should realize that they are the once making our rural youths jobless and hopeless because the Local Government is the only Government closer to them. They should also not forget the consequences of having unemployed youths in rural areas.The Abia main opposition party queried which LGA in Abia State today can boast of any plans for Abia Youths?

The APC said now the people came out to pick their choice of leaders, the same criminals that think Abia must remain stagnant for them to keep moving, decided to stop it. As a party, The APC said it will announce it’s next step soon.
