INEC under pressure to subvert Benue governorship rerun election in favour of APC – Benue youths vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
He also advised those plotting to compel the Benue state Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, to announce APC as winner of the poll against the wishes of majority of the people of the state, to also make available body bags to evacuate Benue youths who are prepared to die for a course they believe in.
Comrade Kuanum who spoke yesterday in Makurdi said Benue youths have it on good authority that the Benue state REC, Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda had allegedly come under intense pressure from the APC to subvert the rerun election in Benue state and announce the APC candidate as winner.“The plan is for INEC to announce the APC candidate winner of the election while PDP heads to the tribunal to seek Justice which will not be served.
“The APC and its co-travelers are pressuring INEC to destroy Benue state for their own greed even when it is obvious that the rerun in Benue is nothing but an academic exercise because Governor Samuel Ortom has a lead margin of over 80,000 votes. “Moreover, we also have it on record that in the 179 Polling Units where elections were cancelled which are known PDP strongholds, with registered voters strength of 121,019, not more than 70,000 of the electorates have Permanent Voters’s Cards, PVCs, even at that, there is no way voter turnout in these places can hit 40 percent.
When contacted, the INEC Head of Voter Education and Publicity in Benue State, Mr. Emma Okpe said “it is not true that we are under pressure to announce anybody winner of the March 23 rerun, these are mere rumours in the town.”
