– Says heist bad for APC image in Abia State, South East zone.
Rep Sam Onuigbo, a candidate for the Abia Central Senatorial ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has challenged defenders of the alleged fabricated results from the party’s May 18 senatorial primary to explain their roles in the controversial vote allocations.
Onuigbo, a former two-term member of the House of Representatives and notable sponsor of Nigeria’s groundbreaking Climate Change Act, firmly insists the figures announced from the exercise were not only questionable but had further damaged the image of the APC in Abia State and the South East zone.
Reacting to media attacks against him over his protest against the conduct of the Abia Central APC senatorial primary, Onuigbo told THISDAY that sponsors of the negative reports were merely trying to divert attention from an outrageous hijack of the primary election process.
He further told THISDAY that the jokers behind the attacks should have aided the APC National Working Committee, NWC, to clarify how figures of 36,935 votes, 11,457 votes and 5,833 votes were allegedly allocated to three aspirants in a contest he declared was never properly conducted across many wards.
