Former NERC Chairman Sam Amadi has accused party officials in the Imo State chapter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) of ticket racketeering and defrauding aspirants. He claims several aspirants paid officials outside official fees but did not receive nomination tickets. Amadi is calling for accountability and offering to help recover funds, stressing that political processes must not be commercialized.
Former Chairman of the Nigerian Electric Regulatory Commission, NERC, and chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Sam Amadi, has described the recent primary election conducted by the Imo State chapter of the NDC as marred by ticket racketeering and shortchanging of aspirants.
Amadi raised the alarm while commenting on the outcome of the exercise, where he alleged that several aspirants who participated in the primaries had lodged complaints accusing some party officials of demanding and receiving payments without delivering tickets to them. He hinted that many aspirants have been meeting him and complaining that some officials collected money from them.
Amadi called on the affected aspirants who allegedly made payments outside officially declared party fees to reach out to him, pledging to assist in recovering their funds.
“Please, if you are one of those who paid money to anyone apart from officially declared fees, contact me and let me recover your money,” he stated. Describing the alleged practice as fraudulent, Amadi insisted that internal accountability within the party must be enforced, warning that such conduct undermines the integrity of the political process.
“There must be accountability for fraud. This is beyond politics. If you collected money for a transaction, then perform or refund political processes must not be commercialised,” Amadi added. He reiterated his demand for transparency and responsibility within the party’s nomination process, insisting that there must be accountability.
