The Abia State government has requested the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega, to personally conduct the rerun election.
Commissioner for Information Dr. Anthony Agbazuere said only Jega’s presence could ensure a credible rerun.
He said the political atmosphere had been filled with intrigues since the Returning Officer Prof Benjamin Ozumba declared the March 28 election inconclusive.
The commissioner said they requested Jega’s presence because the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) passed a vote of no confidence in the state INEC
He said INEC did not cancel results of Obingwa, Osisioma, and Isiala Ngwa North, as claimed in some quarters.
“We are here to remind the people that the results of Obingwa, Osisioma and Isiala Ngwa North were not cancelled.
“As a government and party, we are ready to stand for the supplementary election, but we demand that Prof. Jega supervises the election personally.
“But if this is not convenient for him, let him send a senior commissioner because we have lost confidence in the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) and the Returning Officer”, Agbazuere said.
