... They also requested for immediate removal of Enugu State REC.

Rising from an emergency meeting This afternoon in Enugu, a group of political parties have suspended 11 (Eleven) party chairmen in the state for gross violation of IPAC code of conduct. The meeting attended by tens of political parties immediately appointed Caretaker committee pending when a new election will be conducted.

According to the P.R.O of the state IPAC who is also the secretary of the Caretaker Committee, the Committee is composed of 3-man Team with Fellow Martins Chiedozie Ugwu of JMPP as the Chairman, and Arinze Nnanna of NDCP as Secretary. The body also appointed Nzekwe Onyekachukwu Emmanuel of DPP as Treasurer.

The well attended meeting warned the general public to take note and desist from dealing with the suspended party chairmen and warned that anybody doing so is at his or her own risk.

The body frowned at the attitude and activities of the state Residence Electoral Commission Mr. Emeka Ononamadu, and requested the INEC headquarters to within 2 weeks remove the commissioner from the state noting that he has outlived his usefulness in the state.

The state IPAC body wondered how the state REC will disobey a court order that instructed INEC not to de-register any political party but the state REC went ahead and start conducting himself in a manner that is in conflict with his position as state REC. They criticized the attitude the State REC Mr. Emeka Onumanu whose conduct right from the day INEC headquartered issued the release of the purported de-registeration of political parties is questionable. His utterances showed that he is biased and incompetent to carry on as the state Residence Electoral Commissioner and cannot be trusted.

According to the group, the conduct of the REC couldn't be more inappropriate in revelation of his unconscious bias, at a time when we are experiencing lack of trust on the part of INEC, political polarization divisiveness and political discord in the country.

The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee, Martins Chiedozie Ugwu who is also the state Chairman of Justice Must Prevail Party is well endowed in wisdom and knowledge and also a fire brand activist with almost two decades of experience in activism, having led several international and local organizations.
