Enugu State indigenes under the umbrella of Coal City Diaspora Movement has called on INEC to cancel the National Assembly Elections held on the 23rd day of February, 2019.

In a strongly worded letter addressed to the National Chairman of INEC and signed by the Director General of the group, Barr Onuora Odo, the group alleged gross electoral irregularities which they claimed affected the outcome of the election in no small measure.

According to the letter, a copy of which was made available to our correspondent, the group urged INEC to  cancel the National Assembly elections in Enugu State as same was characterized by violence and irregularities of unimaginable proportion.

Hear him, “we are calling on the National Chairman of INEC to cancel the National Assembly elections in Enugu State given the level of carnage, impunity and brigandage displayed by the thugs apparently recruited by the leadership of PDP to mar the elections.

Mr. Chairman, it was a situation of complete anarchy given the level of cloak and dagger activities that played out during the elections.

Owing to the dwindling fortunes of PDP in Enugu State arising from the poor performance of the current administration, they had no option than to deploy all their arsenals and resort to electoral violence and ballot box snatching.

A situation where thugs impersonated both the military and corps members to intimidate the people and manipulate the results is uncalled for.

In the light of the foregoing developments, we are calling on INEC to review and revisit the National Assembly elections by cancelling the elections for a holistic reflection of the voice of the people.

Furthermore, given the level of intimidation and harassment displayed by the thugs acting under the ostensible authority of the leadership of PDP, we are urging INEC to beam their searchlight on the activities of this people during the March 9th elections in order to forestall further acts capable of breaking law and order.
