The name of Barr. George Ogara of the Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress is conspicuously missing in the updated list of candidates for the 2023 general election obtained from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, by Thisday newspaper and published on Sunday.
This is contrary to the claim by the chairman of the APC in Enugu, Chief Ugochukwu Agballah, that the continued presence on the INEC website of the name and particulars of Chief Robert Ngwu rather than those of Ogara as the deputy governorship candidate of the APC in Enugu was an error, which the election management would correct in an expected updated list.
Describing it as a case of impersonation and defamation, Dike, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria said: “This is pure fraud and a clear case of impersonation and can only happen in a disorderly and rotten society such as ours.”But in dismissing the allegations, Chief Agballah told national television that it was no fraud. He said Ogara's name had been forwarded to INEC and would be reflected in the Commission's next updated list.
