Imo State Set for Free and Fair Election on September 21st

 By Nightengale Ben-Onyeukwu



As the upcoming election in Imo State draws near, scheduled for Saturday, September 21st, there have been renewed calls for peace and unity. Citizens are encouraged to promote a free and fair electoral process, ensuring that the election day remains devoid of violence, misconduct, and corruption.

Prince Ifeanyi Chinaemeonyeukwu Edward Moses Ikeanaemenanwa Nwosu Nwokororie, a notable figure from the Nwokororie Ancient Kingdom, Umuechendu Umueze Ofekata Orodo, Mbaitoli LGA, has shared his perspective on the elections. He has urged all political aspirants to avoid harmful and criminal activities such as violence, kidnapping, and destruction of property. He emphasised the importance of maintaining peace, love, and unity, advising against acts of bribery and ritualism in the pursuit of power.

‘We must come together as one,’ Prince Ifeanyi stated. ‘On election day, we should focus on peace and show harmony among ourselves. Deceit, felonies, and acrimony should not define our political process. We must remember that we are one in faith, and that our unity is what moves our community forward.’

He further urged the people of Mbaitoli LGA to set an example for other Local Government Areas (LGAs) by conducting themselves peacefully, regardless of the election's outcome. ‘Whoever wins should be supported by all for the progress of our LGA, state, and the country at large,’ he concluded, offering a prayer for the success of the election.

The call for a peaceful election resonates deeply in the region as Imo State prepares for a pivotal day in its political landscape.
