He said that the group considered the allegations
false and baseless.
According to Ani, the group warned political
parties not to disrupt the smooth electoral
process in the state because of their internal
wrangling.
He said that “no single party has the power to
determine whether an election should hold or not
in any state,” describing Enugu as the most
peaceful state in the country.
He also described Ononamadu as the most
friendly REC to ever work in the state.
He said: “We have witnessed the coming and
going of RECs in Enugu state. This one has
discharged his duty in line with the provisions of
the constitution.
“He should not be removed because he has not
done anything contrary to the provisions of the
constitution to warrant his removal.
