The All Progressive Congress (APC) Anambra Chapter, has called for the arrest of Chief Willie Obiano, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate for his involvement in the double registration.

According to OSUN DEFENDERS, a statement issued by Mr Okelo Madukaife, APC Anambra publicity secretary read in part,“The news that the name of Chief Wilie Obiano appears twice on the voter register of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Voter Register is a sad commentary on the quality of candidature that the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) has thrown into the ring in a contest involving men who should ordinarily live another board".

“We hereby demand the apprehension of Chief Willie Obiano for this criminal offence and full-scale investigations into charges by INEC and all security agencies, with a view to applying the full weight of
the Electoral Law as spelt out in Section 12, Subsection 2 and 3 of the Electoral Act 2010, as amended".

“It is extremely worrisome” the statement continued, “ that at a time when we thought that standards and moral standing of men and women who offer themselves to serve in public office have risen for good, the nation is faced with an embarrassing situation where a candidate who wishes to lead a state as complex and dynamic as Anambra State has turned out to be a common criminal".

“Beyond the criminal nature of this sad occurrence, it is also noteworthy that one of the six candidates who were disqualified before the stage-managed primaries in which an Obiano was handpicked by his business partner was supposedly axed for not being in possession of an INEC voter’s card".

“Once again we, demand on behalf of Anambra State voters and the nation a thorough and professional and speedy investigation into the APGA candidate’s double registration saga", the party concluded.
