Presidential Election: Hold INEC Responsible If Protest Breaks Out, Says Uzodike

As Awka, the Anambra State capital turned a ghost Town following the announcement of last Saturday’s Presidential election, Chief Joe-Martins Uzodike, Coordinator of Obi/ Datti Campaign Council in Anambra State has asked Independent National Electoral Commission INEC to prepared to take blames should there be breakdown of law and order because of the shoddy manner it handled the election.

Uzodike who spoke in an interview in Awka Anambra state capital over the outcome of the Presidential election in the country expressed fears that the youths in the country are becoming restive over the handling of the election

He said: “If your property is stolen and you caught the person red handed , you don’t need to wear long faces because you will certainly recover it.

“The youths of this country whose collective wishes have been ripped off are restive and the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC should be held responsible for whatever that would happen in this country as a result of this rape of democracy.

“The Arch Bishop of Canterbury, the United States of America and the entire international Community have been talking and soon these people would be denied entrance into those country as a result of what they did at that election “

Uzodike contended that the results announced by INEC were a manifestation of the day light robbery of the Nigerian people.

He said: “Look at Gombe and Bauchi states having the same results for all the three major Presidential candidates and in the PDP situation room Lagos shows that Labour Party won with more than 900,000 votes but in our own situation room we got 1.23 million votes.

“In Rivers state Labour won land slide almost all the votes were won by Labour Party and they messed everything up.

“Look at Ekiti state where what was uploaded was later wiped out and Labour Party got over 85,000 votes and they gave it to APC that actually got 13,000 votes.

“The whole thing is manifest because it would seem like business as usual and collations made in most states were done in people’s houses and they were done by fake agents,” he said.
