Enugu residents observe sit-at-home to protest 

The All Progressives Congress, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, and the Labour Party protested the exclusion of result sheets at polling units in Enugu State on Saturday.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the protest began when officials from the Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission arrived at polling units at 9:40 a.m. without the essential documents.

At polling units, 008, 020, 003, 002, and 001, located at Christ Church, Enugu South Council, APC and LP agents refused to proceed with the election until result sheets were provided.

A Labour Party agent, who wished to remain anonymous, told NAN that “ENSIEC provided other materials, but the result sheets were missing.”

“The Supervisory Presiding Officer claimed she had the results but would only bring them in the afternoon for the Presiding Officer to enter the scores.”

An APC agent, who also pleaded anonymity, corroborated this, stating, “There will be no election without result sheets.”

APGA’s Acting Chairman, Mr Ekene Uzodimma, reported similar issues in Awgu Ward Nine, where election materials arrived without result sheets.

“Many polling units in my ward have not received materials by 11 am,” he said.

APGA Councillor for Trans-Ekulu Ward, Mr Okeke Fidelis, stated that his entire ward had not received election materials.

Another APGA Collation Agent, Uche, was denied entry at Enugu North Council Area, allegedly due to only PDP agents being allowed.

In Udi Council Area, APGA Chairmanship candidate, Mr Chukwuemeka Ochi, reported that many polling units were yet to receive election materials.

NAN observed a low voter turnout at many polling units visited in Enugu South Council Area.
