THE Umuneke Progressive Front (UPF) has faulted the former governor of Enugu State, Mr. Sullivan Chime over his criticism of the last weekend’s local government election in the state.
The group, which is the premier umbrella organisation for all the communities in Chime’s Udi clan, described the former governor as “a bad loser”, insisting that the 4thNovember election was the best by any administration in Enugu State since 1999.
UPF added that the former governor did not deserve more than the 19 votes, which he garnered for his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) at his polling booth.
In a statement made available to newsmen in Enugu, President of the group, Hon. Emeka Aneke, dismissed allegations of irregularities in the last council leveled on the Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission, ENSIEC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, by the former governor.
UPF alleged that Chime ran an autocratic leadership in which party faithful and stakeholders had no inputs whatsoever into the councillorship and chairmanship candidates of the party.
“Again, unlike now that he had the opportunity to cast ballot at his polling booth, did he ever allow his processor, Chimaroke Nnamani, the opportunity to cast any vote? ENSIEC under Sullivan Chime was anything but independent as there was no semblance of election,” the group siad.
