BEING A RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ALL PROGRESSIVES GRAND ALLIANCE(APGA) TODAY,THE 3RD DAY OF AUGUST,2015 DURING A PRESS CONFERENCE HELD IN UMUAHIA IN RESPONSE TO THE ARSON UNLEASHED AT INEC OFFICE IN OBINGWA L.G.A OF ABIA STATE ON SUNDAY, 2ND AUGUST, 2015.
The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Abia State, received with shock and utmost disappointment the news that INEC Office in Obingwa L.G.A has been set ablaze by political hoodlums suspected to be working for the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) and Abia State Government.
We are embarrassed that this criminal act of desperation is coming just few days after the Governorship Election Tribunal sitting In Umuahia ruled in favour of APGA and directed that materials used in Obingwa and two other LGAs be brought to the Tribunal premises for inspection as earlier requested by APGA, it is therefore very clear that the enemies of Abia who earlier failed woefully in their bid to stop APGA’s Governorship Petition from entering trial stage have now increased their anti-democratic acts of violence as the last resort to achieving the impossible.
Recall that the PDP acted similar movie during the election when they set INEC office ablaze in Isiala Ngwa South LGA after discovering that the APGA House of Assembly candidate for the election Mr. Levi Atulegwu was cruising to victory against the PDP candidate, this led to the suspension of the election.
It is indeed not a thing of surprise to APGA that the agents of PDP and Abia State Government who are notorious in acts of violence and anti-people brigandage finally executed this criminal act having initially prevented APGA Lawyers and Forensic Experts from inspecting those Obingwa materials which they feared would expose their electoral crimes and sink them permanently.
