He said that the Anambra governorship election is a big lesson to politicians who felt they could buy the electorate with money while admonishing them to prepare adequately for their campaigns as well as approach the people with credible issues of development instead of banking on the money they would share to the people to buy votes.
Umeh who addressed journalists at the INEC office Awka on Sunday stressed that Anambra people are not foolish and as such can’t be bought over with money adding that they are wise people who should be allowed to decide who governs them.
The DG noted that Obiano performed tremendously well in his first term in office and deserves the mandate of the people for another opportunity to serve them better pointing out that money did not play any role in the election; that they have lost their money in an attempt to bribe the electorate.
He maintained that the election is a typical lesson for those who hope to win elections by sharing money. According to him, INEC was neutral in the election as well as surpassed the expectations of all and sundry.
Umeh noted that the election was transparent and should be the kind of election that should be recommended to the nation stressing that the outcome of the Anambra governorship election is the collective will and decision of the people of Anambra State.
