Former Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife has raised an alarm over a plot to rig the 2015 elections in favour of the North.
The elder statesman made the remarks, citing his evidence to be the uneven distribution of polling units in the South East and Northern regions by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
He said, “The distribution of polling units by INEC is shocking and does suggest a blatant design to do something sinister and to do it with impunity. In that distribution, the North-West had more than 7000 units, the South-East was given about the same number of polling units as Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, just a little more than 1000 units.
“The new distribution of polling units correlates negatively or inversely with distribution of votes for Jonathan in 2011 presidential election. The South- East is considered Mr. President’s strongest support base. Is that why it received this low, indeed insultingly low allocation of polling units? If this distribution of polling units is not blatant indication of a definite plan to rig the 2015 presidential election, then we should doubt that one plus one is two.”
