The level of tension within Obingwa LGA in Abia State has been gaining great weight as each day adds to meet the <br /><br />election date. Political Parties campaigning and employing different strategies to get their candidates win the election <br /><br />scheduled for 21st December, 2016.<br /><br />Violence has been kept to its lowest degree through the hard word of the peace keeping body established within wards in <br /><br />the LGA. <br />Yet some political hoodlums has gone far with their strategies. <br />As expected, electorial materials arrived Obingwa LGA later in the evening of 20th December, 2016 against the election <br /><br />holding the next day being 21st. Credits to INEC for making the materials available as scheduled. <br />After dispatching materials to WARDS, it has been reported that great count of ballot papers is missing. <br /><br />According to reports in Obingwa Ward 5, after confirmation of the original number of ballot papers and other materials, <br /><br />Some political warlords within the ward from PDP conived with who so ever, making deals and took to their custody <br /><br />good number of ballot papers from each Polling Unit in WARD 5. <br />As earlier reported in a previous date, it has been brought to limelight that the electorial process is at the fear of being <br /><br />faulted.<br /><br />Hence, other parties at whose disadvantage this exploit is being carried out has raised great alarm. The call for open, free <br /><br />and fare election is at its high to ensure a serene exercise.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Lagos State chapter of the All 
Progressives Congress says   the loss of the presidential election by 
the Peoples Democratic Party on March 28, 2015 frustrated its plans to 
take over Lagos State by force.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The APC, while reflecting on the victory
 of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode at the Supreme Court last week, said the 
PDP would have deployed security agencies and ethnic groups to remove 
the APC government in Lagos if Nigerians had re-elected former President
 Goodluck Jonathan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a statement issued by the APC 
spokesman, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, on Sunday, the party commended the 
resilience of Nigerians during the presidential poll to free themselves 
from 16 years of oppression of the PDP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The APC said, “Had the PDP succeeded in 
stealing the presidency on March 28, 2015, it would have used the army, 
the police, the Department of State Service to ‘steal’ Lagos by force.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Supreme Court verdict has proved 
beyond reasonable doubt that Ambode won the governorship election fair 
and square, defeating Mr. Jimi Agbaje of the PDP with more than 160, 000
 votes.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While assuring Lagosians that the APC 
government in Lagos would not lower the bar of leadership, the group 
said Lagos would continue to be a pacesetter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The APC said the Supreme Court verdict 
was another call to duty , adding that Governor Ambode possesses the 
required skills, training, experience, to consolidate on the gains of 
the past 16 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The statement read, “As a bean counter, 
he has hit the ground running, restructuring and repositioning critical 
institutions in Lagos. He has been busy embarking on reforms. The 
resounding victory at the apex court tells us in no uncertain terms that
 Lagosians have not forgotten how AD (Alliance for Democracy), AC 
(Action Congress), ACN (Action Congress of Nigeria) and now APC, 
transformed Lagos in the last 16 years and made the city the fastest 
growing cosmopolitan city state in Africa, with a Gross Domestic Product
 of more than $135 bn.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Lagosians have not forgotten that the 
progressive party cleaned up Lagos and made it a habitable city. They 
have not forgotten how our party made Lagos a haven for business 
activities to thrive. They have not forgotten how we built the most 
formidable security architecture in Lagos to protect lives and property 
of more than 18 million Nigerians residing in the city of Lagos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The apex court ruling has put paid to 
the controversy surrounding the April 11 poll. The victory would spur 
the Ambode-led administration to implement the party’s people-oriented 
policies and programmes.”</div>

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic 
Party and its All Progressives Congress counterpart in Edo State have 
disagreed over the recent bailout loan received by the state government 
from the Federal Government to cushion the effects of dwindling oil 
revenue.
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Edo, being part of the beneficiaries of 
the bailout, had received the sum of N3.1bn to enable it to meet up with
 its financial obligation to local governments’ workers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the state Chairman of the PDP, Chief
 Dan Orbih, said that the move by the Federal Government would 
“encourage corruption” and “monumental mismanagement” of local 
governments’ allocations in Edo and other states.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Orbih, who spoke on Saturday during the 
official opening of the party’s new state secretariat located on First 
East Circular Road in Benin, therefore, urged President Muhammadu Buhari
 to discontinue any further disbursement to the states.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also in attendance were serving and 
former National Assembly members from the party, including Senator 
Matthew Urhoghide (Edo South), Senator Ehigie Uzamere and Senator Odion 
Ugbesia, as well as leaders of the PDP in the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the chairman, who said that 
Oredo council allegedly received only N102m, out of its statutory 
allocation of N1.067bn between January and September, 2015, urged the 
President to probe the allocation of council funds by the Edo State 
Government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also called for the immediate 
reinstatement of the suspended council chairmen, which he described as 
politically- motivated and not based on accountability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Orbih said, “There is, no doubt, that 
there is monumental mismanagement of local government allocation in Edo 
State under Adams Oshiomhole. That is why on this very occasion of the 
official opening of the PDP headquarters in Benin City, I want to call 
on President Buhari to stop the present practice of payment of financial
 bailout.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Financial bailout by Buhari is a way of
 encouraging corruption in Nigeria. They (governors) have enough 
allocation for the local governments; so, the question the President 
should ask is: what is responsible for this government not being able to
 meet its financial obligations to the people in various local 
governments?”</div>

<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
We are <span id="more-1375"></span>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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />

<br />
Just a few days ago a deadly act of violence that led to the death of
 innocent police officer was unleashed at the Guest House of our Leader 
Dr. Alex Otti and even before the police could carry out their 
investigation, the Abia State Government in their suspicious panic 
hurriedly but disgracefully dismissed the said attack, just the way they
 have fraudulently but childishly tried to link APGA to this latest 
Obingwa madness through their misleading report on BCA; that is how 
petty and pitiable the Abia State Government and PDP have become.<br />

From using machetes and coffins to threaten innocent voters to 
shooting and snatching during the election, from burning down of INEC 
Office in Isiala Ngwa South to invasion of INEC office in Umuahia, from 
the 200million Dollar ADB loan to the illegal 30 billion naira loan, 
from begging Dr. Alex Otti to withdraw his case at the Tribunal to 
attack on his Lawyers and Forensic Experts, and from the assassination 
attempt in Abuja to the burning down of INEC Office in Obingwa, we are 
forced to ask, how dangerously desperate can PDP and Abia State 
Government be?<br />

As we condemn this latest infamy of futility from the enemies of 
Abia, we call on the Federal Government, INEC,and the necessary Security
 Agencies to pay special attention to Abia State and take very decisive 
measures to ensure that justice is not raped, and that the enemies of 
democracy will not ignorantly and carelessly bring avoidable anarchy to 
our state through these numerous provocative acts of cruelty and 
criminality.<br />

To Abia State Government and the PDP we say, pushing your luck beyond
 and acceptable level is akin to challenging your God, and since you 
cannot challenge your God and survive we the peace loving people of APGA
 and Abia State urge you to halt your numerous acts of visionlessness 
and viciousness that subject Abia to public ridicule and endanger all 
that the founding fathers of Abia labored to achieve.<br />

A stich in time saves nine!<br />

Sign<br />

REV. AUGUSTINE EHIEMERE<br />
Chairman, APGA, Abia State</div>
