The law firm of Felix, Igelige and Associates had, during the elections, on behalf of the Ithihikpe Campaign Organization, petitioned the state Resident Electoral Commissioner, accusing Suleiman of working with the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after allegedly receiving some gratification.
The Independent National Electoral Commission says it is currently investigating Blessing Suleiman, the electoral officer in charge of Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, over allegations of compromise levelled against her by a group, the Ithihikpe Campaign Organization, on the presidential and National Assembly elections held in the area.
The petition read:"We act for and on behalf of the Ithihikpe Campaign Organization and it is upon their firm instructions that we forward this petition. Our client, which is an integral part of the Joel-Onowakpo Thomas Campaign Organization, has just discovered to their chagrin that one Mrs. Blessing Suleiman, who was recently posted to Oleh as your Commission’s Electoral Officer for Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, has been compromised by the Peoples Democratic Party .
"For instance, one Oneke Michael, who is the current youth leader of the PDP for Oleh Ward 2, has been recruited as Asst. Presiding Officer II for Unit 18 of Oleh Ward 2. Furthermore, one Mr. Emmanuel Oneke who is an ex-councillorship candidate under the PDP and currently the Personal Assistant to Mr. Kenneth Ogba a candidate of the PDP for Isoko South Constituency 1 also made the list as an ad hoc staff.
"Even more worrisome to our client is the fact that other non-aligned working civil servants as well as ex-corps members, who applied and who are supposed to be the first line of persons for consideration for recruitment after serving corps members, have been deliberately and conspicuously left out of the recruitment net, all in an effort to favour the fortunes of the PDP.
