A little advice to Nwoye, Ubah, don't let Ngige confuse you, not only has he tested the seat before he is in a very wrong party and will never get a shot at the seat again under APC ::|:: We’ll boycott Anambra supplementary election -Nwoye, Ubah,Ngige

Controversies surrounding the November 16 Anambra State governorship election continue at the weekend with three principal candidates in the elections rejecting the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) decision to go ahead with a supplementary election in the state.

Ifeanyi Ubah of Labour Party (LP), Chris Ngige of All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate, Tony Nwoye, jointly condemned the INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega’s pronouncement, insisting that they would not participate, as they are set to boycott the supplementary elections.

Jega, after a meeting of the commission on Friday, addressed journalists and announced Saturday, November 30 as the date for the Anambra supplementary election.

He cited the inability of the political parties to provide substantial evidence to support outright cancellation of the process, as a validation for the refusal of the commission to cancel the entire election.

In a swift reaction to Jega’s claims, the candidates told Channels Television correspondent, Lanre Lasisi, that they have provided sufficient evidence to convince INEC that the entire exercise was a sham.

“As far as we are concerned, we have rejected the supplementary election fixed for November 30, and we are not part of it.

“We advise the Independent National Electoral Commission to save the resources for that election, but they can go ahead and announce the APGA candidate as winner of the election, we will be more comfortable with that”, Ngige, APC candidate, said.
