The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Aspirant for Awka South Constituency II, House of Assembly, Evangelist Chinedu Raymond Obue ( Nwachinemelu) has raised alarm on alleged conspiracies targeted at sabotaging his victory at the party primaries last weekend by yet to be identified tycoons supporting his opponent who lost in the election.
He appealed to the Presidential candidate of NDC,Mr Peter Obi, National Chairman of NDC, Sen. Cleopas Moses Zuwoghe and the founder of NDC Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, among other party leaders at all levels to intervene and restore his mandate being threatened.
He appealed to lovers of democracy in the party to ensure that nothing happens to the mandate given to him by his people in a primary election that was free, fair, and transparent, with INEC officials and DSS present to observe.
He informed that the result was duly signed by the Election Committee Chairman for Awka South LGA, Engr. Prof. Paul Okolie, and video evidence confirms its credibility.
He said he pulled 625 votes to beat his opponent Sam Chuks Ọkpanduka who got 73 votes.
He has already written a petition on the outcome of the Awka South Constituency primaries to the appeal panel of NDC at Abuja expecting intervention in the face of threatening injustice.
