Earlier in his remarks, the Electoral Committee Chairman, Hon Ngozi Agudosi noted that it was the turn of NGO Nnobi Quarters to elect the PG of NWO – the Town Union body of Nnobi Community saying that up till the election day nobody submitted a letter of protest or disapproval but was surprised that some people left during the accreditation without provocation or waiting to say why they will not participate in the election.
“Up until yesterday when both Umuezeme community and Umuikechem community submitted their final list of delegates numbering 28 persons each, there was no official letter of petition written to the Electoral Committee concerning any form of grievances as stipulated by the election code of conduct. Infact, almost all the delegates and contestants from Umuezeme were here this morning during accreditation. They neither came up into the hall upstairs where the election took place to participate nor did they come up to say their mind before walking out of the venue. Infact, I thought they were sorting out some personal matters unknown to us or making some consultations until the election was concluded without them anywhere in sight now,” said Agudosi.
