Agents of the Labour Party (LP) at Ikenegbu area of Owerri Municipal Council in Imo State have protested the alleged swapping of Polling Unit officers.
A man identified as Madu, one of the potential voters who said he is a party member, said it was surprising that the PU personnel already deployed to the voting centre were changed this morning.
Speaking with reporters, the spokesperson for the Labour Party’s governorship candidate, Chibuikem Diala, said that INEC was doing the same thing in all parts of the state.
He said that the campaign organization had discovered that the actual PU officers already trained by INEC were dropped at the last minute, and people who did not take part in the INEC’s training were deployed to conduct the election.
In some parts of the state, IPOB is alleged to have declared a total lockdown, forcing citizens to sit at home and avoid the polling units.
At some of the polling units, reports and videos of prewritten results are currently trending.
