A group, Coalition for Good Governance and Economic Justice in Africa, has forwarded a strongly worded petition to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu demanding immediate transfer of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in Edo State, Dr Anugbum Onuoha.
The group said the demand for Onuohas transfer became necessary to safeguard Electoral integrity in Edo State.
This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by its Country Director, Mr John Mayaki and made available to DAILY POST.
According to the statement, We write to express our utmost concern and alarm regarding the appointment of Dr Anugbum Onuoha as Resident Electoral Commissioner for Edo State, given his well-documented history as a staunch political loyalist of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, now serving as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
Sir, just yesterday, Friday, September 13, the FCT Minister, while speaking in an interview with Channels Television, acknowledged that Onuoha is his first cousin and has been the REC in Edo State for over a year.
