In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, APC said Obiano's multiple registration provides the best test case yet for INEC to convince Nigerians that it is indeed willing and able to discourage multiple voter registration by making those who engage in this electoral fraud to face the full wrath of the law.According to the statement, "prosecuting Obiano will also show that INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega, was not just bluffing when he recently called for the establishment of an electoral offences tribunal before the 2015 general elections to help restore sanity to the country's electoral process and deter people from committing electoral offences"."It is now clear, from incontrovertible evidence in the public domain, that APGA's governorship candidate is one of those who engaged in multiple voter registration, having registered twice in Anambra and at least once in Lagos.""One of Obiano's two voter registration cards was issued on August 21st 2013 with VIN number 90F5B12B88377091121, while the second was issued on Sept. 3rd, 2013 with VIN number 90F5B15E7D378200332. Both gave his address as No. 1 Chief Willie Obiano Street, Otuocha, and showed he was born on 08-08-1955.""Add this to the evidence out there that he also registered in Lagos, and one can see that Obiano is a serial electoral offender who must not be allowed to escape justice. Nobody is bigger than the law, and Obiano cannot be an exception.""This means that the 93,526 cases that the INEC Chairman said it had detected in Anambra may not have been expunged from the voters' register to be used for the Nov. 16th election. After all, if the case of such a high profile person like Obiano, who is contesting for Governor, was not discovered by INEC, how can the cases involving ordinary citizens be discovered?" it queried.

Prosecute APGA's Candidate, Obiano, For Multiple Registration– APC Tells INEC
