The Ohanaeze Youth Forum (OYF) has raised concerns over the alleged partisanship of Dr. Ken Nnamdi Ukeagu, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) National Commissioner overseeing Anambra, Imo, and Ebonyi states. According to the Vanguard News, the youth group accused Ukeagu of compromising the expected neutrality of his office by providing electoral consultancy services, although the specific nature of these services was not detailed. The OYF has called on INEC to take action and potentially redeploy Ukeagu in light of these allegations.
The call for Ukeagu’s redeployment comes amid growing concerns over the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process, particularly in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections. The OYF emphasized the need for INEC to maintain its neutrality and impartiality to ensure fair and credible elections.
The Vanguard News did not report on INEC’s response to the OYF’s request. It is crucial that INEC addresses these allegations to preserve public trust in the electoral process.
