A suspect named Anthony Onuoha has confessed to rigging the election that took place in Anambra in 2021 to ensure Chukwuma Soludo's victory at the poll.

Onuoha who was arrested by the Ebonyi State police command over alleged car theft on Thursday disclosed that he worked with more than 30 others who rigged the election in favour of Soludo.

While being paraded alongside the others, the suspect alleged that they were hired by one Uche General to rig the governorship election for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

Onuoho revealed that they were given a car and fifty thousand naira after the election.

“Last year November, a car was given to me after governor Soludo’s election, because I was involved as one of the 30 persons that were kept in one place to work for APGA.

"We were promised to be given a car and fifty thousand naira after the election.

“What attracted me to work for APGA was the car and not the fifty thousand naira.

"I went to Anambra State that November; I was picked by one Mr Uche General, I don’t know his surname. Uche General was the one in charge of the section.

“The role I played there was that we were kept at Awka North to thumbprint ballot papers on that day of the election.

"We thumb-printed for APGA governorship candidate, Charles Soludo, and we agreed that at the end of the day, we will be given a car and fifty thousand naira, which they did.

“We are nine persons that were given a car out of over thirty persons that were hired for the job.

"This car was given to me by them and the fifty thousand naira to fuel it,” he said.

Reacting to the allegation, Governor Soludo through his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, denied having anything to do with Onuoha during the election.

Soludo stated that the suspect should be made to face the wrath of the law.

“The police should take the full wrath of the law against the suspect. We don’t know him, he is just telling lies to get off the hook.

"He is a common criminal and nobody knows him.

"Moreover, it was BVAS that was used during that last year's election in Anambra State. So, where did they do the thumbprinting?

“We don’t know him. We don’t know who he is. He must be a criminal and that is why he is in the police net.

"APGA won an election that was declared the most free and fair election in Nigeria.”

“There was no such thumbprinting in that Anambra election. It was BVAS that INEC deployed in that election.

"We don’t know that guy, the governor of Anambra State does not know him. And APGA as a political party does not know him.

"The guy is on his own and he should face and carry his cross,” the governor emphasized.
