Ahead of this year’s November 11, Imo governorship election in Imo state, political parties on Tuesday called for the removal of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Sylvia Agu.
“In view of the forthcoming Governorship Election in Imo State It has become imperative that the Imo State Resident Electoral Commissioner must be redeployed out of Imo State in other to guarantee a level playing ground in the forthcoming Imo State Governorship Election scheduled to hold on Saturday 11th November, 2023. The call for her removal became necessary because of the fear of her suspected romance with the ruling All Progressive Congress in Imo State.
To drive it home, she supervised the most rigged election in the history of the State during the February 25 and March 11, Presidential and National Assembly and State Assembly elections. “Unfortunately, we do not have confidence in the current Resident Electoral Commissioner in Imo State to conduct free, fair, credible and transparent governorship election in the State. We strongly believe that she would compromise the electoral process. Imo is yet to recover from the shock of the way she played to the gallery during the State House of Assembly elections which were obviously manipulated to the advantage of the ruling Party in the State.
According to the State Chairman of the LP, Callistus Ihejiagwa, in a protest at the INEC’s office located along Owerri-Port Harcourt road in Owerri, said: “The only way to ensure a credible governorship election in the state on November 11 was for the commission to immediately redeploy its REC in the state.
