FCT election: People’s votes must be counted – ZLP National chair, Nwanyanwu
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

The National Chairman of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Dan Nwanyanwu, has warned that all votes must be counted in the February 21 Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Area Councils elections.

Nwanyanwu issued this warning on Thursday while fielding questions in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time.’

He stressed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), must test the IREV.

“In FCT, you just said tension is rising and that is correct. Alliances are shifting. Some candidates are being persuaded to drop and support another candidate. Then you have the Supreme Court that affected one of the parties.

“Let me tell you. FCT residents have a pattern when they are voting.

“They are not persuaded by noise or arrogance. And let me warn that this election on Saturday, the votes must be counted and INEC should test the IREV.

“A lot of things have happened in the in the past few days. People who thought they will win everywhere and throw everybody away will be disappointed.

“You may not support the president’s party in this election but in other elections you may support the president. This is local politics.

“So, when somebody gets to the public arrogantly boasting that he’s god, he’s all, it’s not just right.

“Watch and see the outcome of the Saturday election.

“Some people think they can determine everything in these elections but they can’t. That can only work outside Abuja,” he said.
