Sylva suffers major set back as 24,000 voodoo votes in Nembe Constituency 3 cancelled
The Governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Chief Timipre Sylva has suffered a huge set back following the cancellation of the over 24,000 controversial votes purportedly recorded in Ward 11,12 and 13 of Mini, Ikensi and Oluasiri in Nembe Local Government area of the State.
The cancellation followed the protest by stakeholders particularly members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the hijack of election materials by APC thugs in Nembe-Bassambiri and refusal to allow voters including supporters of the PDP to cast a single vote.
The PDP also alleged that most of the votes purportedly recorded by the APC in the area were cooked and are voodoo votes that should be cancelled.
The votes from Mini, Ikensi and Oluasiri communities were thereby cancelled after the INEC officials reviewed the PDP arguments.
Confirming the development, the PDP agent for the Ward, Douglas Etulankimor Sampson said it was regrettable for APC to deny almost 30,000 voters in the ward opportunity to cast their votes.
