Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Igbo socio-political organisation has issued a statement Ohanaeze Ndigbo on the presidential election that took place on Saturday, February 23, 2019.

Ohanaeze’s deputy spokesperson, Chuks Ibegbu in the statement said;

“The federal government should fish out soldiers and security agents that aided and abetted election rigging in some parts of the country.”

“The Chief of Army staff had assured that soldiers would be neutral in the election but we are disturbed by reports that soldiers aided and abetted election rigging in some states like Bayelsa, Rivers and others. This is unacceptable and must be addressed.”

“Secondly the IG of police and the Lagos state police command must fish out and prosecute the hoodlums that attacked Igbo traders in Lagos. This is barbarism at its extreme and a threat to the corporate existence of the nation. It must not be swept under the carpet and whoever prodded the hoodlums to do that must be apprehended.”

“Finally, Ohanaeze cautions INEC not to allow itself be bulldozed into thwarting the will of the people. Election results must reflect the voting at the polling units and not fictitious or manufactured figures. The world is watching.”
