The 2019 Imo PDP candidate for Okigwe North Reps.Seat,Onwubuariri,who is also the incumbent reps.member,said “Nigeria at this level have gone beyond that pattern of announcement by the INEC Chairman,Yakubu. That means the N242billion budgeted for the election is allegedly not enough. Both Mr.President and INEC are sick and as such they (INEC) can not guarantee free,fair and credible polls in Nigeria. They should be investigated. They should explain to Nigerians why they were unable to conduct elections”,he lamented.
