ISIEC Accused of Electoral Violations and Illicit Fees

Owerri, Imo State - October 2, 2024

The Imo Concern Citizens' for Electoral Integrity and Good Governance (ICCEIGG) strongly condemns the blatant disregard for electoral laws displayed by the Imo State Independent Electoral Commission (ISIEC). Before the September 21st local government elections, ISIEC demanded and collected illicit fees from candidates under the guise of revalidation.

This unethical practice undermines the integrity of the electoral process and perpetuates a culture of corruption. ICCEIGG demands that ISIEC immediately refunds all monies collected from candidates.

Electoral Violations and Illicit Fees: A Call to Action

ISIEC's actions contravene the principles of transparency and accountability, fundamental to democratic elections. We urge the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate these allegations and ensure ISIEC is held accountable.

ICCEIGG will not relent in seeking refunds for affected candidates and justice for the electoral violations. We call on all stakeholders, including the Imo State government, to support our efforts in this direction.

Together, we can build a more transparent and accountable electoral process.


Signed:

The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Ahiazu Mbaise Local Branch, heartily congratulates all candidates who emerged from the various political party primaries for the 2027 State and National Assembly elections.

𝘉𝘺 𝘋𝘰𝘯𝘞𝘪𝘴 There is an old saying that when the pot calls the kettle black, it should first examine its own appearance. Criticism is a legitimate part of public discourse, and nobody should be above scrutiny. However, criticism carries greater weight when it comes with fairness, consistency and a willingness to subject oneself to the same standards demanded of others. It is easy to point fingers, highlight the shortcomings of others and present oneself as a champion of accountability. The more difficult task is to look inward, reflect honestly on one's own record and acknowledge that no individual is beyond questioning.
