THE Igbo intellectual think-tank, Aka Ikenga, has condemned what it described “The repeated attempts of the Prof Attahiru Jega-led INEC to derail the 2015 elections by one ill-conceived idea or the other.”
In a statement yesterday by its President, Chief Goddy Uwazurike, Aka Ikenga, which also flayed the INEC chairman for reportedly harassing key southern electoral officers over the suspended 30,000 additional polling units.
He said; “Up to last week, Jega was toying with the idea of adding 30,000 polling units with 22,000 going to the North and 8,000 going to the South. This is a country where the voting figures are 52 per cent for the North and 48 per cent for the South. Wisely, he suspended it. But we say, suspension is not enough. It should be scrapped as that project is but ghost voters agenda.”
“Now, Jega’s new project is relocating 1000 polling units in the country from one place to the other in 12 states. This idea of 12 states is a concealed programme because Jega did not disclose that 12 states actual consist of 11 states in the far North and one state to the South (Lagos). What condition exists in the 12 states to the exclusion of the 24 states? Is it possible to have a new voting arrangement to the Northern states in the far North without the same scenario in the middle belt?
”What is really the reason for this ill-intended venture? Whose complaint has led to this new venture? Jega should realize that his name is at stake and that he is standing on a banana peel!”
