Tension In Ebonyi As INEC Names Ex Governor, Elechi As South East Returning Officer

There is currently heavy tension in Ebonyi State as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has named former governor of the state, Martin Elechi as South East Returning Officer.

Elechi is a well-known All Progressive Congress Chieftain and is not in good terms with Ebonyi State governor, David Nweze Umahi.


In 2015, Elechi refused to support Umahi to become the state governor, instead he backed the candidate of Labour Party who later failed.

Also, Chief Augustine Nwankwegu, a former Speaker of the State House of Assembly who was sacked by Governor Dave Umahi as Commissioner for Justice has been named as Ebonyi state returning officer.

According to report obtained by  Umahi is in shock following the announcement of Elechi as the returning officer for South East and Chief Nwankwegu as Ebonyi state returning officer.

Umahi is said to be sad over the development and has moved to make sure both of them are removed.

People don finish? anybody with questionable character should not be used
