Some leaders and stakeholders of Ikwuano Local Government Area Labour Party led by the LGA Party Chairman Honorable Bright Chimezie have described the list of nominated LGA Chairmen and councilors that was purportedly submitted to the Honorable Commissioner of Chieftaincy and Local Government Affairs as null and void.

The party faithful who stated this during an interaction with Newsmen revealed that the process of nominating and putting together the list was not democratic and did not follow the instructions as stipulated in the circular that called for the nomination.

LGA Party Chairman narrated how he reached out to the House of Assembly member representing Ikwuano State Constituency Honorable Bonny Isienyi and other leaders, proposing a stakeholder meeting, where they will democratically nominate those who will be shortlisted as Chairmen and Councilors for LGA as instructed by the circular and Governor Alex Otti OFR.

The chairman revealed that he was surprised when the Honorable Commissioner for Agriculture Professor Monica Ironkwe, informed him via telephone conversation that the Honorable Isienyi had submitted a list to her which has been forwarded to the Honorable Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affair Prince Uzor Nwachukwu.

The Chairman further stated that he later called a proper stakeholder meeting of the party in Ikwuano and put together what he described as the authentic list.

The secretary of the Labour Party in Ikwuano Mr Victor called for an investigation into how his signature and that of the LGA party chairman appeared on the said submitted list without their knowledge. He equally called for the intervention of the governor so that everything could be resolved amicably.
