 Otti Slams Julius Abure Over Continued Sale of Labour Party Nomination Forms Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has strongly criticised the former National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure, for proceeding with the sale of governorship nomination forms despite opposition from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and subsisting court rulings. The criticism follows a viral photograph showing Abure presenting a Labour Party nomination form to a former National Vice Chairman of the party, Ceekay Igara, in the company of other party members. Reacting through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Ukoha Ukoha, Governor Otti questioned Abure’s continued claim to leadership of the party.  Ukoha insisted that both judicial pronouncements and INEC’s position have effectively sidelined Abure, describing his actions as being in contempt of court. “I think Abure is in a better position to explain the grounds on which he is still parading himself after a Federal High...

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF RECRUITING,NOTHING LIKE MASS RESIGNATION AHEAD OF ANAMBRA STATE ELECTION-INEC.[PHOTO].

The Independent National Electoral Commission says it has adequate manpower for the conduct of November 6 governorship election in Anambra.


INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Anambra State, Nwachukwu Orji, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Awka.


Orji, who was reacting to viral media report that hundreds of adhoc workers recruited for the Anambra election resigned en-masse, said there was no truth in the publication.


“INEC is still in the process of recruiting the adhoc workers, in fact we just finished the last training before this false report.


“As the head of the commission in Anambra, I am telling you authoritatively that we have more than enough manpower for the conduct of the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra,” he said.

The INEC official explained that none of the adhoc workers being recruited had been given engagement letter.


“If we have not issued letters to them, how then can any of them resign?” he wondered.


Orji said it was unfair for the mass media to be aiding publications capable of causing more tension in the polity.


He said that a lot of people in the country were looking for work to do so as to improve their lives, adding that it was bad to publish stories capable of frightening the poor masses.

“Taking INEC jobs during elections has been one means for people who do not have permanent jobs to earn little money. Publishing negative report that will scare them is so bad,” Orji said.
