Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC ) has threatened to drag certain politicians in Enugu state to court over wild allegations made against the commission during the 2019 general elections.

INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner for Enugu, Dr Emeka Ononamadu who said this during a post-election media briefing at INEC office Enugu on Tuesday warned that INEC was not ready to condone reckless allegations that cast aspersions on the electoral process.

He said: “Although, certain political groups effortlessly tried to falsely label INEC, security agencies and Central Bank in an attempt to find one way or the other to scuttle the process, the maturity exhibited by citizens was enough to send their plans to the cleaners.

“INEC and its staff also have a name to protect; we are not going to tolerate reckless allegations that can cast aspersion on our democracy and electoral process. We are moving towards a direction when nobody will get away with any unsubstantiated allegation that rubs off on the credibility of an election.”
