By Adesina Soyooye

A former Minister for Aviation, Osita Chidoka, has accused a University Don, Professor Kingsley Chimsorom Chilaka, of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University and his team of Electoral Fraud.

Chidoka revealed that Chilaka and his team committed the fraud  on May 10, 2022 in his (Chidoka’s Idemili North Local Government Area.

Chidoka,  a Minister during the Goodluck Jonathan Government, who was, also, a Corp Marshall of the Federal Road Safety Corp, FRSC, revealed this in a post   where he explained why he would not attend the National Convention of his Party, PDP, going on in Abuja.

The Convention, where  PDP Delegates would choose the Party’s Presidential candidate began in Abuja on Saturday, May 28, 2022, and will end on Sunday, May 29, 2022.

But Chidoka, a staunch member of the PDP, and a member of the Electoral Sub-Committee for the Convention, in the post, said he chose to boycott the Convention in protest of the Electoral heist committed in his LGA by the National Delegate Congress Committee, led by Prof  Chilaka, sent to conduct the Congress.

Chidoka: “On May 10th, a National Delegate Congress Committee chaired by Prof Kingsley Chimsorom Chilaka of Nnamdi Azikiwe University went to Anambra to conduct the Congress and did not conduct any Congress in Idemili North LGA where I had bought form to contest as a National Delegate.”

Chidoka said even though the Committee conducted no Congress in Idemili North it shockingly submitted a fake result with the name of someone who did not even purchase the form for the Congress.

Chidoka: “Strangely, the Committee submitted a report and fake result for Idemili North LGA with the name of someone that did not purchase the form for the congress.”

He said that the report submitted by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, confirmed that no election took place at Idemili North, where they waited, in vain, till 7pm.

To push the National Leadership of the PDP to do the right thing, Chidoka said he submitted a petition to it, but disappointly, heard nothing from them. Instead, he noted: “The Party went ahead and published the name from the fake result as National Delegate”

While wishing the Party well, the PDP chieftain said he had decided to stay away from the Convention in protest of the fraud.

He, also, emphasized that he would not go to Court to challenge the fraud, but advised: “It is time we looked into the role of Academics in the corruption in our electoral process. I will follow up on that soon.”
