The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State on Media and Publicity has called the protest against the November 16 poll "stage-managed".
According to his words, investigations revealed that the people involved in protest, especially the women that pretended to be crying placards, were imported into Anambra State from Osun State in five chartered luxurious buses.
He said: “Chris Ngige and his group wanted protests at all costs, but when our people, who already know him for what he is, refused, they had to go to Osun State."
“Even when they imported some boys from Imo State to protest as students, the Vice Chancellor of Nnandi Azikiwe University, Prof. Egboka, was alarmed when contacted on phone. He had to rush down to the school for investigations.
"Having discovered that those involved were not his students, he warned against those who lost and said he had checked with all his relevant officials who confirmed that the story of UNIZIK students was fallacious. We have our respects, belief and integrity.”
As it was stated, the boys later confessed that All Progressive Congress, APC, paid them N1,500 each and chartered the buses that conveyed them from Imo State to Anambra.
