[Shola Sholaz]

Gov. Peter Obi of Anambra on Monday said that neither All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) nor himself rigged the Nov. 16 governorship elections in the state.
.
Obi spoke to State House correspondents after the launch of the third phase of the Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria (YouWiN) programme by President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa.
.
"Let me tell you, in the election in Anambra State, I can go to any where as a Christian and tell you there was no issue of rigging.
.
"Those who wanted to rig were prevented from rigging and they are crying,'' he said.
.
The governor said APGA as a popular and acceptable party in the state would floor any opposition party in any election.
.
He also faulted the calls for the cancellation of the entire elections by the opposition parties.
.
"Go to the people of Anambra State, if you repeat that election 10 times, they will never win.
.
"What are they even talking about cancellation, the regulation, the rules or the law says that you have to win at least 25 per cent in two-third of the local governments
