The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday charged the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to immediately redeploy the Imo State Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, ahead of Saturday's governorship election.
PDP said Yakubu should redeploy Agu for allegedly having been compromised to manipulate the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Imo State in favour of the All Progressives Congress, APC. The opposition party urged the INEC chairman to take a cue from the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, who redeployed the Commissioner of Police in Imo State in response to the demand of the people for neutrality in the November 11 poll.
'The redeployment of Sylvia Agu out of Imo State is therefore the only way to restore confidence in the electoral process, guarantee a credible election and avert crisis in the State. 'This is especially so as there are very disturbing allegations in the public space of clandestine meetings between Prof. Agu and certain APC agents said to have been facilitated by her close relative, who is an APC national officer, ahead of the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Imo State.
