While official government press release stated that Governor Okorocha donated 100 Siena Cars as security operational vehicles for Imo Command, many of such branded vehicles were not delivered to the police.</div> <div dir="ltr"> Collaborating our findings, the Peoples Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate, Ihedioha Campaign Organization through their new media directorate has alleged fear over the clandestine move by the Okorocha led rescue mission administration to use branded official police vehicle to rig election and perpetuate his 3rd term agenda through his Son-in-law, Uche Nwosu, the gubernatorial candidate of the Action Alliance, AA.</div> <div dir="ltr"> Director New Media, Ihedioha Campaign Organization, Aic Akwarandu writing on his social media handle said:</div> <div dir="ltr"> "The plan is to use the remaining branded vehicles to monitor elections with their own “men”. </div> <div dir="ltr"> The State police command must investigate this particular information and ensure that it will not happen on the day of Election.</div> <div dir="ltr"> Imo People are very determined about this election. No election has gained awareness like this. Even the woman in the village understands that She needs to be sure of her result before going home after voting.</div> <div dir="ltr"> Anybody planing to do anything other than free and fair election is inviting anarchy. Imolites are peaceful people. But you don’t take them for a ride. </div> <div dir="ltr"> Their Votes Must count. The truth is that the State Government branded more Siena cars than it donated to the State police command."</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dshB-ju1z6k/XGpnn5IkuoI/AAAAAAAAbew/hg1q68D_QiAaBSWtCNxG_RCoFKJm2TGwwCLcBGAs/s1600/FB_IMG_1550473092100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="720" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dshB-ju1z6k/XGpnn5IkuoI/AAAAAAAAbew/hg1q68D_QiAaBSWtCNxG_RCoFKJm2TGwwCLcBGAs/s640/FB_IMG_1550473092100.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div dir="ltr"> <br /></div> <div dir="ltr"> Okorocha our sources revealed, had boasted to his rescue mission lieutenants that nobody will remove the commissioner of police Imo state as long as he is still the Governor of Imo State , the CP was said to be a confidant of Okorocha. It was alleged that Governor Rochas Okorocha influenced his posting to Imo after pressing on the former Inspector General of Police to remove former Imo CP, Chris Okey Ezike, now AIG Zone 4.</div> <div dir="ltr"> The Imo new CP, Galandanchi, temporarily leaved at Okorocha's private residence on posting to Imo State for a period of time before eventual relocation to the Police Commissioner's quarter, behind government House Owerri. Even the last redeployment of Commissioner's of Police across the 36 States of the federation did not affect him.</div> <div dir="ltr"> Our findings revealed that in previous elections in Imo, commissioner's of Police always make official pronouncement banning Imo state government para-military structures like IMO SECURITY NETWORK , IMO CIVIL GUARDS , etc, from carrying firearms and participating in the general election, but the current Imo Police command has been silent on such orders. </div> <div dir="ltr"> There are fears in some quarters that many thugs working for the rescue mission government, especially the 'AREA BOYS' that moves around with a siren Camry car tagged IMGH security will wear police uniform on the election day. It's imperative the police high command look at the issues raised critically and find a very pragmatic way to deal with them , spread their dragnet and intelligence to forestall breakdown of law and order and ensure safety of Imo citizens, as well as guaranteeing free, fair and credible elections come February 23rd and March 9th, 2019. </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aQZC1UGfcC4/XGpnmoeEpII/AAAAAAAAbeo/0BYWepuPTX4CR-cL0NDfg0_8kVnyVGX_ACLcBGAs/s1600/FB_IMG_1550473085175.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="720" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aQZC1UGfcC4/XGpnmoeEpII/AAAAAAAAbeo/0BYWepuPTX4CR-cL0NDfg0_8kVnyVGX_ACLcBGAs/s640/FB_IMG_1550473085175.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div dir="ltr"> <br /></div> <div dir="ltr"> IfeanyiCy Njoku reports</div> <div dir="ltr"> <br /></div> <div dir="ltr"> <span style="background-color: #d8dfea;">#IfeanyiCyMedia</span> <span style="background-color: #d8dfea;">#IfeanyiCyBlog</span> <span style="background-color: #d8dfea;">#EventCoverage</span> <span style="background-color: #d8dfea;">#EventPlanning</span> <span style="background-color: #d8dfea;">#EventManagement</span> © Ifeanyicy.com <br /> </div> <br />

Buhari/APC plots to suspend INEC chairman and appoints Amina Zakari as Acting Chairman

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s03gmcJFOf8/XGhIqf1KQiI/AAAAAAAAbeM/ieMkU4L0SzQCnP7HPGwwyoI3o_Sp4e9gwCLcBGAs/s1600/FB_IMG_1550287700386.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="960" height="576" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s03gmcJFOf8/XGhIqf1KQiI/AAAAAAAAbeM/ieMkU4L0SzQCnP7HPGwwyoI3o_Sp4e9gwCLcBGAs/s640/FB_IMG_1550287700386.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> According to information made available to IfeanyiCy blog (www.Ifeanyicy.com) by Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the Spokesperson of Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP),indicates that President Mohammadu Buhari led All Progressive Congress, APC, government is planning to suspend the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu and appoint in his place, Buhari’s nicee, Mrs Amina Zakari as Acting Chairman under the guise of the INEC inability to conduct election today.<br /> <br /> Read the full press statement:<br /> <br /> "Urgent Development<br /> From CUPP<br /> For Immediate Release<br /> Saturday 16th Feb 2019<br /> 4.50pm<br /> <br /> Opposition raises alarm over move by President Buhari to suspend INEC chairman and appoint Amina Zakari as Acting Chairman under the guise of INEC inability to Conduct Election today.<br /> <br /> ..Buhari wants to sack INEC Chairman for refusing to conduct staggered election today.<br /> <br /> ...Buhari led APC sabotaged INEC distribution of materials and turned back to condemn<br /> <br /> ..Plot to hold election in 20 states with incomplete material would have led to national blood bath<br /> <br /> ..Move to Sack INEC chairman will throw Nigeria into full electoral and constitutional crisis.<br /> <br /> ..Section 157 of the constitution requires 2/3 majority of Senate for INEC Chairman removal .<br /> .....................<br /> The Coalition of United Political Parties is alerting the world of plan and decision by President Muhammadu Buhari to announce the suspension of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mahmood Yakubu, from office. The President has also pencilled down Amina Zakari for appointment as the Acting Chairman citing her experience as the oldest and most experienced National Commissioner of the Commission.<br /> <br /> The President is planning to use the excuse of inability to hold election today as a reason for the imminent suspension. Feigning ignorance of the real reasons behind the shift, the President in his earlier statement today did not have just a word for the shameful and despicable actions of security forces and the central Bank staff who in obedience to Presidency directives deliberately sabotaged the distribution of sensitive materials in selected states.<br /> <br /> We are aware that his hurried return to Abuja today from his home state, Katsina is to sack the INEC boss. But this should be resisted by all well meaning Nigerians and the international community.<br /> <br /> The sin of the INEC Chairman is that he refused to conduct staggered elections that will allow the President and his men to manipulate the process. The Presidency had mounted pressure on the Commission to conduct election today in states where there were no issues and postpone only the states with materials distribution issues. The INEC Chairman insisted on conducting the election at the same time hence warranting the postponement of the entire election.<br /> <br /> We hereby warn President Buhari that the position of the INEC Chairman is independent, hence, he cannot be removed from office via suspension. The 1999 Constitution in Section 157(1) states that the Chairman and members of the Commission may only be removed by the President acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate that the person be removed for inability to discharge the functions of the office (whether arising from infirmity of Mind or body or any other cause) or for misconduct<br /> <br /> We are aware that the government itself sabotaged INEC distribution of materials and he is turning around to suspend the Chairman of INEC illegally.<br /> <br /> We are warning that any attempt to sack or suspend the INEC Chairman will only lead to electoral and constitutional crisis. The nation is still grappling with the illegality and unconstitutionality of the removal of the Chief Justice of Nigeria and the President wants to go down this ignoble path again.<br /> <br /> If the President has ears, let him hear.<br /> <br /> Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere<br /> 1st National Spokesperson"

Postponement of Elections: Blame Buhari-led APC and Security forces not INEC, Says Opposition Parties

We have been vindicated.<br /> <br /> We blame the international embarrassment this last minute postponement has caused the nation on the President, the desperate leaders of his party, APC, and the nation's security agencies who failed woefully in their duties to protect electoral materials and INEC offices from attacks by these enemies of the nation.<br /> <br /> We call on the security forces to sit up and ensure that these enemies of democracy are not allowed to have their ways again.<br /> <br /> We make bold to say that with the postponement, President Buhari's judgement day with the people has just been shifted .<br /> <br /> INEC chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, has shown courage by shifting the election to avert national bloodshed because we are aware that<br /> APC wanted to proceed with election after compromising distribution and destroying materials in over 15 states.<br /> <br /> Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere<br /> CUPP Spokesperson
