Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State on Monday accused
some politicians in the state of sleeping in the office of the Independent
National Electoral Commission, INEC, ahead of the governorship election in the
state.
Soludo said these politicians sleeping in INEC office are
trying the get the electoral umpire to manipulate results of next month’s poll.
The governor spoke during a panel discussion in Abuja on the
topic, ‘Innovation in electoral technology 2015-2025’.
According to Soludo: “Should we now because of what happened
in that particular polling unit, and say that the entire election, and so on,
was just terrible? No. We all need to work on it.
“The politicians, those of us who are now in politics, I’ve
had the privilege of being on the other side. That’s the first one I have in
politics. I find it a privilege of being on the other side, having to design
this, having to work it and saw the good, the bad, the ugly. And I will tell
you, from where we are today, the difference is like the difference between day
and night.
“Politicians need to do a lot more, this Nigerian factor
where we believe that nothing can happen without some wuruwuru or some wayo in
it. Currently we’re here and our election is next month.
“Some politicians are sleeping in INEC you know, because
they don’t believe. When we have busy campaigning here, they are busy.
“They don’t believe that people can just cast their vote,
you’ll count it and announce the results. No, there must be some wayo, some
wuruwuru here and there.
“So the politicians themselves, we have a lot of work to
do.”
