"My Relationship With Wike Has No Influence On The Election" - Edo REC, Onuoha by fergie001(mod): 8:01pm On Sep 16, 2024

Onuoha, an Associate Professor of Law at the Rivers State University is a former Special Adviser on Lands & Survey under former Governor Wike-led administration

PRESS STATEMENT
For Immediate Release

The attention of Dr. Anugbum Onuoha has been drawn to recent calls by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Governor Godwin Obaseki regarding his role as the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Edo State ahead of the upcoming September 21, 2024, governorship election.

While Dr. Onuoha acknowledges the concerns raised by the PDP, he wishes to assure the public and all political stakeholders that his appointment by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is rooted in professionalism, integrity, and a commitment to free, fair, and credible elections.

The relationship between Dr. Onuoha and the Honorable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has been openly addressed, and it bears no influence on the impartiality with which he will discharge his duties as REC. It is important to note that INEC operates independently and ensures all actions comply with the laws guiding elections in Nigeria.

Dr. Onuoha has always maintained a record of service that upholds transparency and fairness, as evidenced by his previous assignments. He emphasizes that his sole objective is to oversee a credible electoral process where the true will of the Edo State people will be reflected without bias or favoritism.

Dr. Onuoha aligns himself with INEC’s commitment to conducting a transparent election, with results declared at the polling units and visible to the public through the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal. He further echoes INEC’s stance that all stakeholders should focus on the electoral process and ensure peace and calm throughout the election.

INEC and its officials are fully prepared to deliver on their mandate, and Dr. Onuoha encourages all political actors and citizens to trust in the process and support a peaceful and democratic exercise.

Thank you.

Dr. Anugbum Onuoha
Resident Electoral Commissioner, Edo State

Sentiments aside, if every professional were to be removed from office because they were related to one politician or the other, there'd be no one left to do the job

All this rigging is simply because we have local government collection of results

If we do polling unit transmission... It would be impossible to effectively rig an election

There are an average of 5,000 polling units per States

This politicians are not smart enough to coordinator rigging in 150 polling units

Anyone who believes such nonsense is a retard

APC wants Edo by all means

Obaseki failed but I think Edo people prefer PDP than APC whose candidate promised to bring insecurity to the state.

That is how Tilumbu was talking and people felt it was a mistake

Labour party flopped by not bringing an Esan man. I believe in Equity and feel everyone should have a sense of belonging now first, before we start to bring candidates only based on intellect and records of performance.
