Nigeria elections: INEC admits irregularities
NAN reports that Ezeonu made his view known at the Imo INEC Interactive meeting with Stakeholders in Owerri.
The REC explained that there were a few hitches which impeded the early deployment of materials on the election day. “In Ohaji-Egbema we lost more than 30 Smart Card Readers. Our ballot boxes and other electoral materials were destroyed with impunity. This obviously is not our idea of an election.Ezeonu explained that the most painful was that highly respected members of the society, who were supposed to demonstrate leadership allowed emotion and muscle to displace reason.
“As the Resident Electoral Commissioner, I take responsibility for all the shortcomings during the last election and I pledge to make amends. However, there are issues for which I cannot be held liable,” he said.
