Enugu LGA Polls: APC Drags INEC, ENSIEC to CourtFrom Ignatius OkparaENUGU NIGERIA (AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Barely a week to the forthcoming Enugu State local government election, the opposition All Progressives Congress APC, has filed charges against the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the Enugu State Independent National Electoral Commission ENSIEC, over the poll.
The controversial election is scheduled to hold on Saturday, November 4, 2017.
AFRICAN EXAMINER reports that the suit which was filed Friday at the Federal High court sitting in Enugu, has the state Chairman of APC, Dr. Ben Nwoye, Okoye Hillary Monday and Philip Ogechukwu Eze as plaintiffs on behalf of other candidates; while the ENSIEC and INEC, are joined as 1st and 2nd defendants, respectively.
“The first defendant without any powers under any known law verified, screened and purportedly disqualified candidates of the plaintiff without any reason.
“The first defendant without any reason failed and/or neglected to publish the voters’ register of voters in Enugu State 30 days before the election as required by the law.”
