Shame To INEC – Kenneth Okonkwo Reacts As 2023 Governorship Election Is Postponed

Actor cum politician, Kenneth Okonkwo who is also the spokesperson for the Labour Party Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council has reacted to the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone the 2023 governorship and State Assembly election.

He said it is shameful that after collecting huge sums of money from the federal government, INEC was unable to meet up with the election schedule.

Naija News recalls late on Wednesday night, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officially confirmed the rescheduling of the upcoming governorship elections across the country.

The National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, announced in a statement that the election will not hold on March 11th as earlier scheduled.

According to the electoral umpire, the gubernatorial election will now take place on the 18th of March, 2023.

INEC disclosed that guber campaigns would continue until midnight Thursday, 16th March 2023.

Reacting to the development via a statement on his Twitter account, the Labour Party chieftain said the development is a demonstration of INEC’s incompetence and criminality.

He wrote: “After collecting 306b naira from the Federal Government to organize elections within schedule, INEC has failed to meet up with the schedule.

“It has demonstrated its incompetence and criminality by postponing the governorship and house of assembly elections to March 18.

“This postponement became inevitable because 11 days after the presidential election, results have not been fully uploaded to BVAS IREV Portal and Server and the contestants have not been allowed access to verify the results. May Mahmood never happen to any country.
Shame to INEC!!!

“Our mandate is sacrosanct. God is on our side. We will laugh last by the grace of God. We moovee!!!
