LGA-Nkanu East.
Total Accredited voters: 7000
Votes cast for governorship: Over 30’000 votes.
Votes cast for Senatorial candidates: Over 25,000 votes.
“This is how PDP Enugu State has made INEC a laughing stock because the Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC in Enugu State who is alleged to have collected 100s of millions of Naira and who since last night has been pressuring the innocent returning officer who want the right thing done in the governorship election to accept the fraudulent result and declare the PDP candidate governor-elect.
“Ndi Enugu let’s all rise to resist this intending criminality.”
