Keyamo gives INEC ultimatum over Obiano’s multiple registration
Lagos
Lawyer, Festus Keyamo has given the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), 24-hour ultimatum to prosecute Willie Obiano,
candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, for Saturday’s
Anambra gubernatorial election.
A petition on Tuesday and addressed to the Chairman, Attahiru Jega,
stated that INEC through its National Commissioner for Election
Monitoring, Dr. Ishmael Igbani, confirmed in late October that the
Commission had “detected 93,526 multiple registration cases in Anambra
State” and had promised to prosecute everybody involved in the act.
Keyamo recalled that it was discovered that Obiano, Maduabuchi Willie
had earlier registered at Ifako/Soluyi Ward 2, Polling Unit 060 –
Junction of Ramot Oluwakemi Street, Kosofe Local Government Area of
Lagos State, and therefore guilty of multiple registration.
The lawyer asked INEC to immediately commence the process of
prosecution of the said “Obiano, Maduabuchi Willie”, warning that
failure to do so will make his chamber apply for Mandamus to compel the
Commission to carry out its statutory duty.
