Senator
Chris Nwabueze Ngige
May Not
Have Access To Electoral Evidences
To Prove
His Case Before
Anambra
State Election Petition Tribunal
Pieces of information at
the disposal of our Electoral Correspondence
showed clearly that there are strong indications to the fact that the All
Progressive Congress gubernatorial candidate in Anambra State controversial
gubernatorial election held on 16th, 17th and 30th of November, 2013,
Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige, may not have access to electoral materials from
INEC to prove his case before the Anambra State Gubernatorial Election
Petition Tribunal before the expiration of 21 days ultimatum required to
file petition.
Immediately after twenty-four (24) hours INEC
declared Chief Willie Obiano as the winner of the controversial gubernatorial
election on 1st of December, 2013, Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige filed
a motion before the Anambra State Election Petition Tribunal requesting
for an order of the tribunal to compel INEC to allow him to inspect electoral
materials used to conduct the election so as to enable him to institute and
maintain a reliable petition before the expiration of twenty-one (21) days ultimatum
recognized by electoral law.
Documentary
evidence before our Electoral Correspondence
showed clearly that the presiding judge in the Anambra State Election
Petition Tribunal, Honourable Justice Kaigama granted the motion of Senator
Chris Nwabueze Ngige on Friday, 6th of December, 2013, to the
effect that INEC should allow him to have access to photocopies and other
sensitive electoral materials used to conduct the controversial gubernatorial
election.
As at today, 17th
of December, 2013, INEC has not being able to comply with the Anambra State
Election Petition Tribunal rulings to make electoral material and other
sensitive materials available for Senator
Chris Nwabueze Ngige so as to institute and maintain a reliable petition
before 22nd of December, 2013, the ultimatum date to file a petition
as recognized by the Nigerian Election Laws.
Last week, INEC
requested Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige to pay the sum of =N=2,220,00:00 before he could be allowed to inspect and
make copies of the electoral documents in the custody of INEC for the sole
purpose of instituting and maintaining his petition before Anambra State
Election Petition Tribunal.
As at today, 17th
of December, 2013, there is no evidence to show whether or not the sum of =N=2,
220,000:00 has been paid by Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige to INEC.
The concerns of The Nigerian Political Analyst are stated below.
(1) Is the payment of
=N=2,220,00:00 to INEC by Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige to make certified true copies of electoral
documents legal and not highly inflated cost to prevent Senator Chris Nwabueze
Ngige from having access to documentary
evidences to be tendered before the Anambra State Election Petition Tribunal?
(2) Can Senator Chris Nwabueze
Ngige file a reliable petition before the Anambra
State Election Petition Tribunal on or before 22nd of December,
2013, in realization of the fact that INEC is yet to hand-over electoral and
other sensitive materials to him to inspect and for forensic experts’
observations?
On 16th of December,
2013, the secretary of the Anambra State Election Petition Tribunal,
Mrs.Deborah Musa acknowledged that the Anambra State Election Petition Tribunal
has not receive any petition from any of the aggrieved gubernatorial candidate
that participated in the last governorship election held on 16th, 17th
and 30th of November, 2013 in Anambra State.

Critical Issues To Be Politically And Legally Analyzed
(1) INEC requested Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige to pay =N=2,220,00:00 before he could be allowed to inspect and make copies of the electoral documents in the custody of INEC for the sole purpose of instituting and maintaining his petition before Anambra State election Tribunal.
Is the payment of =N=2,220,00:00 to INEC by Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige to make certified true copies of electoral documents legal and not highly inflated cost to prevent Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige from having access to documentary evidences to be tendered before the Anambra State Election Tribunal?

(2) Before Honourable Justice J. K. Kaigama (a judge in the Anambra State Election Tribunal), Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige claimed that there were injections of false names in the Voters` Register of Anambra State used to conduct the last election.
Is allegation of injection of false names in Anambra State Voters` Register Confirmed by Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige before making such a destructive allegation most importantly where electoral materials are yet to be handed over to him by INEC?
(3) Ugochukwu Ikegwuonu and Kenneth Moneken before Justice Ahmed Mohammed (Federal High Court, Abuja) claimed that Chief Willie Obiano submitted a voter`s card to INEC different from the voter`s card he submitted during primary election of APGA.
Is it not premature to accuse Chief Willie Obiano of Double Registration of Voter`s cards where INEC has not allege and drag him before a court of competent jurisdiction for prosecution?
