A civic group, the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), has accused the Anambra State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Elizabeth Agwu and Festus Okoye, the National Commissioner for Voter Education/National Commissioner in charge of Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi states, of jointly disenfranchising thousands of Nigerians in Anambra State in the presidential and legislative elections.
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has no candidate for the Akwa Ibom North West and Yobe North Senatorial Districts, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2023 forthcoming general elections. Festus Okoye, INEC's National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, revealed this during an interview on Channels Television's Sunday Politics.
