All thanks to His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a man of capacities, for trying to restore the LGAs in the country through the judiciary. That’s on that.
Months ago, Imo state Independent electoral commission (ISIEC) brought and displayed its own date for the LG election, which was said to be on the 21st September, 2024.
Many parties indicated interests, which they sold forms to aspirants, primaries were conducted by parties according to ISIEC timetable, and names of candidates have sent to the said ISIEC accordingly. But, in all, it was All Progressive Congress (APC) that did consensus, though out of the stated timetable, just few days to the said election.
INEC
Still not only that, ISIEC brought an emergency publication demanding that all the party candidates must purchase a form for screening, which each Councillorship candidate paid #51k( fifty one thousand naira, and another ten thousand naira for booklet) which in total, #61k (sixty one thousand naira) while, each chairmanship candidate paid #200k, including the same booklet, which is #2010k ( two hundred and ten thousand naira).
Screening was conducted three (3) days to the appointment (not election) . In all, there was no APC candidates performing all the whole exercises, it has been other parties.
Truth be told, there was and has not been any candidate’s list displayed by ISIEC before and after the appointments, having undergoing all the whole exercises and processes.
On the said election day, 21st, Sep 2024, materials arrived in all 27LGAs around 1pm and 2pm without any original result sheets, no ad-hoc staffs/workers, no stamps in all the whole 27LGAs in Imo state. The truth of the matter is that there was nothing like ad-hoc staffs, no one was trained, no mobilization. If they doubt this publication, let them show to the people where exactly the trained them and names.
On that very day, the vehicles that conveyed the materials got to the LGAs, dropped them and drove away. Till now, there has been no LGA election.
What they did was to be visiting polling units with their gangs, taking pictures that the election has been conducted, and is free and fair. Mostly in Aboh Mbaise LGA, Imo state.
In Imo state, there was nothing like number of votes that made anyone to emerge as a councillor or chairman. Go and Google it anywhere/site. That’s to tell you the government we are into.
There’s different between when election is been held and hijacked, than when never conducted.
Imo state is bleeding.
God bless patriotic Imolites.

It takes two people to start arguments with each other that leads to trigger of provocation.
It is two fighting. Despite the fact that Elex has apologise publicly. The police prosecutors should look at this offence in both ways.
