Prof. Okechukwu should step down as chairman of INEC logistics committee immediately. He is not just incompetent, he’s also biased. I have it on good authority that he’s related to Peter Obi.

I mentioned it earlier on a front page thread that Igbos are the problems of this country. They do not realize how weak they are and are easily used by PDP.

It's very easy for igbos and PDPs to point blame fingers but when the tide is against them, they run into hiding.

First, two of the three burnt INEC offices are in the east, therefore, the postponement was to their favor so they won't have to cry about injustice or rigging.

Lalasticlala ban this guy

Now that they realize the person in charge of logistics is their brother, let's see if they will come out to deny him

The truth is gradually coming out small small

SalamRushdie:
INEC site is saying something else oo

kahal29:
Prof Okechukwu Ibeanu is in charge of this Logistic disaster.

The PDP liars are out and about again lying that Madam Zakari is in charge of Logistics. You guys are bloody liars. Prof. Okechukwu Ibeanu is @inecnigeria Elections Operations and Logistics National Commissioner, not Amina Zakari .

Zakari is in Health and Welfare. When she was moved from Logistics to Collation you all raised hell. That was just a while ago. Suddenly you have taken her back to logistics in your lying imaginations. Prof Okechukwu Ibeanu is in Logistics. Only God knows why the INEC chairman took him to Logistics a few weeks to elections.

The picture of how saboteurs were able to penetrate INEC is now getting clearer. Arsonist have been burning down exact locations of where card readers were kept all through the week and we know the particular political party that had gone to court to stop INEC from using card readers. Okechukwu has been providing PDP leaders with the address of the exact locations of the card readers in the targeted states. All patriotic Nigerians must insist that he should be removed as head of INEC logistics committee. He’s shamelessly compromised.

Only two months that the ibo man was in logistics, they want him to clear the mess of Amina zakari of 4 years in INEC logistics.

How many years has Amina been incompetent in INEC as logistics head that knows nothing?
