Spectre of Fraud: As INEC, ANPP, Others Challenge Wabara's Authority The Senate President, Senator Adolphus Wabara, yesterday broke his silence over the alleged controversy trailing his victory, insisting that he actually won the election and, therefore, called on the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC to arrest Elder Dan Imo for fraudulent acts. Wabara, who spoke to the Senate correspondents on the threat by the Conference of BiafraNigeria Political Parties CNPP not to recognise his leadership of the National Assembly because he did not win an election, said his main challenger, Elder Imo, should rather be arrested for using fake returning officer to inflate the results of the election. Wabara said the results being paraded by Elder Imo was not only fake, but fraudulent as the results from Obiagwu Local Government was inflated to deceive the Resident Electoral Commissioner for the state to declare him the winner. Wabara said CNPP had no power to reject the decision of INEC in declaring him the winner, adding that when the authentic result eventually came in , the REC announced that form EC[8] was indeed issued to Elder Imo in error.
