Barely five months to the 2023 general election, a former chairman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Anambra State, Elder Chris Eluemuno, Tuesday, in his Nkwelle-Ezunaka community, Oyi Local Government Area has said that chances of Labour Party candidate, Mr. Peter Obi of victory at the Presidential election was high as long as there would not be room for rigging the election.
He however, warned that if by overt or covert means, the election was rigged, what would befall the Nation would be more than the EndSARS episode.
He said, “It is electronic system of voting. I don’t think anybody will try it with what is happening now”
“If they try and rig it, they will see more than they saw during the EndSARS protest. Nigerians are set for a showdown if the man of the people is denied his victory”.
On the candidates of Muslim-Muslim ticket, in a circular Nation like Nigeria, he said that it was unfortunate, stating that, “Christians are more in population than the Muslims or any other denomination in Nigeria”.
“With this new system of voting, if they try to rig the election, they will see fire. The will of God must prevail on Obi.presently there is insecurity because of maladministration.
“In 2014, I was a member of the National Conference, we resolved to restructure the country but President Buhari refused to implement it. When he leaves now, a new President will reintroduce it”.
Recall that Elder Eluemuno, was a former Chief Press Secretary, to the then Governor of Anambra State, Chief Jim Nwobodo, and also a former President General of his Nkwelle-Ezunaka community.
