Chief Obasi who was the deputy governorship candidate of the party in the 2015 governorship election in the state, was arrested Monday morning by men of the police command and was detained till yesterday morning before he was arraigned in the Magistrate Court 1, Abakaliki. According to a petition addressed to the Ebonyi State Commissioner of Police and made available to newsmen, Chief Udude said that Obasi allegedly collected N1m from him as the Ebonyi north senatorial aspirant of APGA in the 2015 general election in an agreement he would use it to rectify the non publication of his name before the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). According to him, his name was said to have been omitted in the list of senatorial candidates short listed by INEC ahead of the 2015 general Election and he needed to rectify it, hence he contacted Comrade Obasi who accepted to help him rectify the problem at the INEC office in Abuja. The petition further stated that Comrade Obasi despite allegedly receiving the N1m paid into his bank account by Udude and bank teller issued in that respect, failed to fulfil his own part of the agreement throughout the end of the elections; thereby dashing the senatorial ambition of Mr Udude. ]]>
