Independent Observers describe Enugu LG Elections as peaceful, transparent, commend Gov. Ugwuanyi, ENSIEC

A coalition of accredited independent observers for the 2022 Local Government Elections held in Enugu State, on Wednesday, expressed utmost satisfaction with the conduct of the exercise in the state, describing it as “peaceful, transparent, free and fair”.

Speaking to newsmen after the elections, the National Coordinator, Forum of Civil Society Organizations (FCSOs) in Nigeria, Comrade Fidelis Nweke, maintained that the elections were peaceful, transparent and orderly in the various local government areas they visited.

They commended Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for his consistency in conducting council elections in the State, describing the Governor as “a true democrat who had effectively ended the use of caretaker chairmen in running the affairs of the local government areas in Enugu State”

Flanked by the National President, Centre for Positive Change and Civic Responsibility, Amb. Chinyere Manukwem and the Executive Director, Centre for Strategy, Ethics and Value, Mr. Romanus Azubuike, the FCSOs National Coordinator, Comrade Nweke, disclosed that the Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC) improved tremendously on its electoral process adding that the materials and other logistics arrived the polling units on time as their officials displayed a high sense of professionalism.

“I want to say that the elections we observed today were generally peaceful, because you cannot describe any election in Nigeria as being credible, as being fair without first of all being peaceful.

“It was a peaceful election, so we are happy to see this kind of election in Enugu State.

“We also want to say here that some states in Nigeria should replicate what we have seen in Enugu State. This is because there are some states in Nigeria that have not conducted LGA elections for the past ten (10) years. It really shows that Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is a true democrat,” he said.

Also speaking, Amb. Manukwem of Centre for Positive Change and Civic Responsibility, added that the Enugu State LG elections “went peacefully and there was also a large turnout of voters”, stressing: “We are also impressed with the Enugu people, they came out peacefully and cast their votes”.

On his part, the Executive Director of Centre for Strategy, Ethics and Value, Mr. Azubuike, applauded ENSIEC for its efficiency and transparency of the elections as well as the electoral body’s good relationship with the observers.

They must have been monitoring from govt house.

The other thread, ndi ofe mmanu na ndi one Nigeria were jubiliating on those killed in Enugu LGA elecrions while this thread on the peaceful election in same state and same LGA.
Who do we believe in now?
Whether I believe ndi ofe mmanu or ndi Igbos, one thing I know is that afonjas are always happy whenever news of killings happens in dotland but forgetting that d rate of skullarship on their soil is alarming.

Wtf.. And people where murdered.

I guess if the outcome wasn't peaceful the world would have been annihilated!!

We don already know the winners before the election abeg.

Okay

Igbos and their sense of entitlement mentality, I thought IPOB say no more election in southeast again.

Noted

Ipob Hoodlums are irrelevant now in south east, especially Enugu state , election is done it’s done..

Basheer22:
Igbo lives don't matter, honestly.
There is a picture of Igbos killed during the Enugu LG elections but Ugwuanyi is here saying that the elections were peaceful. Even if you must play politics, why don't you respect the memories your brothers and sisters killed?

meth addicts are butchering Igbos in the East, but they are blind to that. They are busy insulting Buhari and Tinubu online. Igbos don't value Igbo lives. That is the truth.

Who do we believe now

Nairaland or Observers

Lol

Edusouls:
Ipob Hoodlums are irrelevant now in south east, especially Enugu state , election is done it’s done..

Those killed have died. No consequences.
Igbo lives are now equal to the lives of local fowl.

Really? Fear politicians

People should learn to understand news, that there ws disturbance in one place doesn't mean it happened everywhere. I'm currently in Enugu and the election was very peaceful here in new haven.

With the level of violence seen in the news? The observers should be questioned.
