The Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma says politicians are to blame for attacks on facilities of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state.
The governor, who said this at the Imo Police Command Headquarters in Owerri in the aftermath of an attack on the INEC headquarters in the South-East state which led to five deaths, added that it was ‘politically contrived”.
In his words, “If we collaborate this with the events of the past, we have continuously said that what is happening in Imo State is politically contrived,” he said while addressing the press after the visit.
“Some people think that they can win the election yet they don’t want the election. How would they now win?”
With less than three months to the general election, Governor Uzodimma described the attacks as a distraction to the electoral body.
