Ohanaeze Youths seek redeployment of INEC commissioner

The Ohanaeze Youth Forum (OYF) has called on Nigeria’s electoral commission, INEC, to redeploy National Commissioner Dr. Ken Nnamdi Ukeagu, who oversees Anambra, Imo and Ebonyi states. The group accuses him of partisanship, including allegedly advising opposition parties and candidates and leaking sensitive electoral documents; the claims have not been independently verified. OYF urged INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan to redeploy Ukeagu pending a transparent investigation and said it would submit a petition with supporting evidence. Ukeagu did not respond in the statement provided to journalists.
