The Digest:

APC governorship candidate Nicholas Ukachukwu has rejected the official election outcome, declaring Chukwuma Soludo the winner of the Anambra governorship race, alleging widespread violence, intimidation, and the abduction of his party agents. Ukachukwu vowed to consult with supporters and party stakeholders before deciding his next course of action.

Key Points:
  • Ukachukwu dismissed Soludo's victory as illegitimate
  • Alleged systematic violence against APC supporters
  • Claimed party agents were abducted and held until after voting
  • Said his deputy governorship candidate was threatened into fleeing
  • Accused opponents of framing legitimate agent payments as vote-buying
  • Noted 99,445 votes demonstrated APC's growing presence in Anambra
  • Pledged to consult widely before announcing next steps
As Anambra's political landscape evolves, these allegations of electoral violence threaten to cast a shadow over the proclaimed victory, a reminder that the storm of politics often continues long after the votes are counted.
