Enugu 2023 Guber: A Sham, Assault On Our Democracy – Nweke(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The governorship candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Frank Nweke Junior has rejected the result of the just concluded Gubernatorial election in the state which produced Peoples Democratic party PDP flag bearer, Dr. Peter Mbah as winner, describing it as a sham and an assault on the nation’s democracy.
“Just before midnight on Friday, March 17, 2023, another piece of propaganda was released and distributed aggressively to insinuate that I had stepped down for Peter Mbah, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party.
“Some compromised members of the police and military threatened voters at polling units and chased those who could not be bought over or intimidated into Voting for the PDP.
“In Nsukka, voters recorded and reported gunshots at polling units allegedly instigated by the Labour Party” he stated.
Nweke further alleged that the most vulnerable and impoverished became prey to vote buying by the People’s Democratic Party and the Labour Party with as little as N500 or packets of noodles in some places.
