The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has suspended its Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, in Abia State, Ike Uzochukwu from office.
Abia State was one of the states where the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections did not commence as scheduled, following a logistical failure.
It reports that following the suspension, INEC has consequently directed its Administrative Secretary in the state, Clement Ohia to immediately assume office and ensure the smooth conduct of this Saturday’s Governorship and State Assembly election.
