The issues militating against Governor Peter Obi's anointed candidate in
the November 16 governorship pool in Anambra State is increasing by the
day. Despite an insistence by Willie Obiano, the governorship candidate
of APGA, that he did not engage in multiple registrations, damning
evidence has now emerged that he did.
The proof that Mr. Obiano registered multiple times might put his candidature in serious trouble, a source at the electoral commission said. The revelations came after an Anambra State High Court had granted the candidate a weird injunction to shield him from criminal prosecution.
Evidence of Obiano double registration in Anambra State below:
Unimpeachable documents obtained by Sahara Reporters show that Mr.
Obiano registered more than once, an act that violates the law. On
August 21, 2013, he was issued a voter identification number (VIN)
90F5B12B88377091121. Then, at 10.25 a.m., on September 3, 2013, he was
given another voter identification number 90F5B15E7D378200332. A third
registration car has also emerged from Kosofe Local Government area in
Lagos.
Except for the fact that the APGA candidate wore different clothes, all the information in the three registrations remained the same. In the cards, he was registered as “Obiano, Maduabuchi Willie.” His address in both documents was given as “No. 1 Chief Willie Obiano Street, Otuocha” just as his date of birth was recorded as August 8, 1955. His age on both cards was recorded as 56.
The watermarks on the cards clearly show the different voter identification numbers as well as different issuing dates and times, though the name of the candidate was unchanged.
“It is against the law to register more than once,” a source at INEC told SaharaReporters today. Section 12(2) of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) provides that “A person shall not register in more than one registration center or register more than once in the same registration center.” Section 12(3) then states that any person who contravenes the law would be liable “on conviction to a fine not exceeding N100,000 or imprisonment.”
