A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Ibrahim Wala, has alleged that the party’s presidential primary election was marred by intimidation, vote buying and other irregularities.
Wala, a loyalist to one of the top ADC presidential
aspirants, Rotimi Amaechi, monitored the exercise in Gombe State.
Amaechi had on Tuesday, rejected the results of the polls,
saying that the process lacked transparency and fairness as earlier promised by
the opposition party.
Backing Amaechi’s claim, Wala, in a post on his official
Facebook page, Wednesday described the process as “brazen, shameless auction
that betrayed every value the ADC promised to uphold.”
Comrade Wala alleged that voters were intimidated and
disenfranchised, stressing that the outcome of the election was determined in a
hotel room.
The ADC chieftain called on former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar, who is currently leading, to immediately dissociate himself from what
he described as “dirty, concocted primary election results.”
He claimed to have “undisputed evidence of irregularities
and voter disenfranchisement” that unfolded under his watch in Gombe State.
“I was personally approached by an agent offering to take me
to the committee leadership’s hotel room to secure whatever I needed.
“This hotel room was treated exactly like a clandestine
situation room where the state party leadership retired after their field day
to finish their manipulative work behind closed doors”, he alleged.
