THE DARK SPOTS IN AVIARA WARD 3 (ISOKO SOUTH CONTITUENCY 2, DELTA STATE)
Post-election protests and serious call to INEC for outright cancellation of the Delta State House of Assembly election held in Aviara ward in Isoko South Constituency 2 on April 11th, 2015, has become a recurring decimal. This is against the backdrop of alarming incidence of electoral fraud that characterized the voting exercise.

The Aviara election could be described as a sham considering media reports of wide spread irregularities that mar the voting pattern in every nook and cranny of Aviara units. Greater a concern is the fact that electoral fraud was being committed with impunity with the security forces appearing culpable to the dismay of the electorates.

Evidence abound that the controversial announcement of the PDP candidate, Hon. Johnson Erijo by the INEC returning officer, Dr Mrs Omosede Osafile as winner of the Isoko South Constituency 2 election sparked off huge protests staged by the good people of Olomoro and Uzere communities and hugely supported by concerned Isoko citizens who described the election as the worst scenario of electoral fraud in recent times.

Noting the reports trailing the election in Aviara, there is sufficient reason to question the credibility of the election in the various units, which observers say were marred by deliberate interference, snatching of ballot boxes by armed thugs loyal to the PDP, diversion of electoral materials, attacks on media personnel (a DBS(Delta Broadcasting service) cameraman, Mr Nelson Miller sustained injury following attack on him by political thugs, while his camera was smashed) while intimidation of voters reigned supreme as INEC officials appeared helpless curbing the wide spread irregularities.

Recall that the presiding officers in most of the polling units in Aviara, as reports had it, did not follow INEC’s directives that card readers “must” be used, noting that the proceeded on manual accreditation of voters, even as people were quarantined in isolated and dilapidated buildings where thumb printing of ballot papers were dubiously perfected.
Most compromising as it seems apparent, is the controversial announcement made on the floor of the collation center in James Otobo Ekpere Hall, Isoko South LGA Secretariat, Oleh, by the INEC returning officer Dr Mrs Omosede Osafile who declared Hon Johnson Erijo of PDP winner in th ISC 2election, using the Aviara result to level up the score that gave Erijo the victory, while the result for Uzere ward, evidently the stronghold of the opposition APC candidate, Hon. Ferguson Onwo was irredeemably cancelled.

The development no doubt, underscores a reign of impunity and inexplicable decoy apparently orchestrated by INEC returning officer for Isoko South Constituency 2, Dr Mrs Omosede Osafile to truncate a democratic process thus undermined the accepted norms and ethos of electoral umpire, INEC.

There are rising concern in public domains that the PDP may have commenced a systematic destruction of our democratic culture by entrenching a culture of impunity in our society as largely witnesses in the lack luster election in Aviara ward on April 11th , 2015.

The loudest call by the APC and a community of democracy enthusiasts and civil society organization to INEC for the outright cancellation of the phoney election in AVIARA WARD is a step in the right direction.
The vote and will of the people must prevail!!!!

The election was declared inconclusive in the present of all the candidates; but after candidates left with their agents, the sitting House of Assembly member harassed the returning officer to announce him as the winner even in the presence of the security offices.
