Arrested INEC Officer Confesses: How We Rigged Anambra Poll

The saying that nothing hides forever is an eternal truth.
The intrigues behind the “jaga jaga” election conducted by
INEC in Anambra State last Saturday has finally come out
to the open. The principal actor in the criticised and highly
controversial governorship election which took place on
November 16 has made some very sterling revelations to
the men who are interrogating him in Abuja.
“The way this whole thing is going, it looks as if many
heads will roll in INEC because the young man has
made useful statements and if what he said is
anything to rely upon, it then means that some big
names in that commission might fall with him.
“At first, he was trying to rationalise his action in that
local government area when he was verbally quizzed
before the intervention of the police; but, after some
time, especially at the point of his detention, he
started to cooperate but the cooperation is loaded
because he has mentioned some top officials of INEC,
especially directors and a PDP chieftain , as those
who ‘put him in trouble’.”
Mr Okeke Chukwujekwu is the arrested INEC electoral
officer…
He was in charge of Idemili North local government of
Anambra State, but currently in police detention over his
role in the rigging, was said to have confessed to his
investigators that he did not rig the election alone, adding
that “ I was used and dumped”.
The chairman of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, had, in the
heat of the controversies generated by the flawed poll,
admitted that the “electoral officer” in Idemili North
“messed up” and that he would be handed over to the
police for prosecution.
Chukwujekwu was moved to Abuja on Sunday, just as INEC
said it is conducting a probe into the deliberate sabotage of
the governorship election.
A top official involved in the election opened up to
LEADERSHIP on Tuesday that the arrested INEC official had
confessed, and it appears that top directors in INEC might
be “implicated” for their involvement.
The source declined to disclose the identities of those
involved, but said “preliminary confessions” point to the
fact that the bungled election in most LGAs of the state was
“packaged by aggrieved politicians in connivance with top
INEC officials both in Abuja and Awka” adding: “ It was a
well-funded package .”
“All fingers point to some aggrieved politicians and it was
a well-funded package that involved quite a lot of people;
that is why the man is saying he has been used
A source in Abuja on Tuesday said
that PDP is working with APGA to rig the election for the
APGA candidate, that is why they are not even bother that
their own candidate did not find his name and those of his
family members in the voters register.
