VOTERS PROTEST IN ENUGU AS INEC COMMISSIONER ALLEGEDLY REPLACES ORIGINAL RESULT SHEETS MEANT FOR BY-ELECTIONS


Electorates in communities where rerun elections are billed to hold in Enugu State on Saturday protested against the alleged replacement of the original result sheets meant for the conduct of the by-elections by the Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state, Dr Chukwuemeka Chukwu.

SaharaReporters which monitored the by-elections in the state reports that late arrival of materials and missing result sheets characterised the rerun elections across the state.

It was observed that only polling units where there is less than 20 voters that result sheets where provided. This development led to electorates refusing to participate in the election, demanding for the results-sheets.


As at 9:30 am, hundreds of supporters of the Labour Party (LP) in the state started protest, chanting songs and demanding that the result sheets be provided before the commencement of the election at Robinson Street, Uwani, Enugu, for Enugu South Urban state constituency.

The situation was also the same in Igbo-Eze North LGA of the state where by-election for Igbo-Eze North and Udenu Federal Constituency was supposed to take place as voters in Umuida, Imufu, Umuosai in Umuitodo Ward 3, and other communities in Enugu-Ezike town.

The electorates insisted that no election would take place in the area without the original result sheets.

Trouble had started, when Labour Party (LP) stakeholders and supporters got a wind of an alleged diversion of the result sheets by the INEC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Consequently, they stormed the election venues at Robinson Street, Uwani, Enugu, and began chanting songs, and demanding that the result sheets be released for the election to commence.

As the LP supporters marched in protest before hundreds of a combined security operatives, their PDP counterparts, demonstrated, insisting that they have seen the result sheets and that the election should commence.

While the logjam continued, the state commissioner of police, Kanayo Uzuegbu, the state director of the Department of Security, senior military officers, and all security agencies were present in the election meant for only eight polling units at Robinson Street Primary School, Uwani.

The demonstrations continued until around 12 noon, when the REC, Dr Chukwuemeka Chukwu, came and addressed the agents of the various political parties.

He told them that the original result sheets had been LOST and that he had provided an alternative.

The REC allegedly quickly brought out a photocopy of the 2023 general elections results sheet and told them that he would sign and countersign for that to be used for the election.

However, the agents of LP vehemently rejected the move by the REC to use the 2023 election result sheets for the by-election.

Speaking to newsmen, Chukwu said, "This morning, information reaching to me has it that there's an issue of missing result booklet for voting to start.

"The political party demanded that, in line with the Electoral Act, every material for the election should be shown to them before the voting will commence.

"When I got the information, I quickly ran to this place to calm the situation and proffer solution for the problem.

"In line with the Electoral Act, if the result sheet is mutilated or missing, what we're going to issue is replacement.

"So, I'm here to tell the world that whatever any person is saying, in line with the law, if any election material is altered before election is concluded, INEC has every right to issue a replacement result sheets or any material in that category.

"So, here is the replacement of the result sheets. So, I'm going to stamp it and I'm going to sign and countersign it so that voting will commence.

"Voting is going to commence very shortly in this Uwani. What we are conducting here is only polling units," he explained.

When journalists asked him how the result sheets got missing, the REC stopped talking and left the interview session.

One of the LP polling unit agents, Arinze Ogbodo, rejected the move. He said: "When we came here we requested to see the materials for the election result sheet for the election to enable us start the election but they refused. They refused to show us the original result sheet. Now the REC from the INEC came here and told us that he will sign the photocopy of the 2023 result sheet for us to use for the election. He told us that the EO that is incharge of this result sheet has absconded.

"There is no way in the history of an election you conduct election with photocopy of election result. Where is the original result and where is the EO who is an official of the commission?

They should produce him because at the end of the day, the said result sheet will be produced and they will use it to announce the result. We will not accept it.

“What we are saying is that if INEC is not ready for this election, they should cancel it and fix a fresh date for the election. We will not accept this," he said.

In Enugu-Ezike and Ubolo-Afor 20 polling units in four Wards had no result sheets for the election.

As of the time of filing this report by 3:20 pm, voting was yet to commence in many places scheduled for election in Enugu State, especially, where turnout were quite huge.

They said that INEC OFFICIALS WERE ABDUCTED in Enugu??
Haahahaahahaaaaa..


I laugh in guechenni..

Let them give us the names of the abducted Officials.

INEC HAD FINALLY SOLD OUT.!!

He can do it with boldness because he knows that After they finish protesting, nothing will happen.

Why is eye-neck hell bent on burning this country. What is really wrong with the black man?

superCleanworks:

The RERUN was cancelled once again.

And they didn't give the name of the Dammed EO who ran away with the original Results-Sheets..

The REC even came around and started quoting fake Electoral-Act for them.

A lot of names were mentioned here.
But as usual, they will just downplay the whole thing and sweep everything under the carpet as usual, and pretend like nothing happened.

I don't like jungle-justice quite-alright..

BUT YOU SEE.. I LOVE THAT BEATING WHICH THAT PRESIDING-OFFICER COLLECTED FROM THE HEADLESS-MOBS..

Trouble had started, when Labour Party (LP) stakeholders and supporters got a wind of an alleged diversion of the result sheets by the INEC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

They are cousin parties. They should not fight.

If ododo can be Governor of Kogi state by yahaya bello already filled result sheet before election, I do not think any one should be stop from writing result at your own stronghold. There will be no election in 2027 as it stand.. total waste of time to come out for voting.. we are back to Iwu era.

What's the fuss?. This has always been the usual occurrence in the southeast, the much ado is just because LP is now at the receiving end. When they were in same camp under the PDP, it was all jolly good ride.

Inec tends to be one of the biggest problem Nigeria as nation have.

BluntCrazeMan

This was the same thing I told you earlier. Nigeria is not worth the headache. Because people do a lot of nonsense and get away with it, free and fair elections will remain a mirage.

Irrespective of tribe, culture or religion, Nigeria is built to engender evil. A society that truly understands that thwarting the will of the people is evil will make electoral malpractices a death penalty.

All these electoral criminals need to be publicly whipped while being hung by the balls, after breaking all their hands and legs.

We will give this election to PDP instead of Labourers Party to win it. My enemy's enemy is my friend. We will continue to teach you Politics

Lol they have sold it hoping to use it when in court.

I wouldn't be surprise if inec provides the original result sheets in court and the court will declare the buyer as winner

Idiots don't know that the chicken will come home to roast

Billionaires. This can only happen in the east

INEC itself is a crime syndicate.

eventually you will understand

Of course nah. A very big disaster.

Imagine Emilokan Tinubu scoring just about 4,000 votes in a whole state and about 5,000 in another state, both in the South East. But, that isn't rigging to you.

Instead of you Obidients and Labourers Party winning this rerun, we will rather rig it for PDP. We will show you how this game is played.

Hope no be robing

INEC is a disaster to Nigeria democracy.

One day for sure all this nonsense will end

Rumundele:
One day for sure all this nonsense will end

Yes, in the year 5050

Benwallt:

You are very wrong. These things happen all over Nigeria but it is only our brothers and close door neigbours from the SE who have the balls to speak against this types of fraud.

Balls of steel can also be found in the SS, and some part of NC like Nassarawa, Southern kaduna, Taraba. who speak against electoral fraud during elections in Nigeria
