The Commissioner of Police in Enugu State, Mr Kanayo Uzuegbu, has warned trouble makers and anti-social groups to steer clear of the state council polls slated for Sept. 21.
Recall that Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC) had slated the council polls across all the 4,145 polling units, 260 political wards and 17 council areas of the state.
Uzuegbu gave the warning on Friday in Enugu during a joint security meeting of all heads of security agencies in the state to conclude security arrangements ahead of the state’s Saturday polls.
According to him, trouble makers and anti-social groups, who might want to foment trouble and cause breach of peace during the polls, will be dealt with summarily.
He said that the security agencies, working jointly, were fully committed to peaceful, fair and credible polls.
“Criminal elements and trouble makers that may want to foment trouble during the polls should steer clear as the security forces are geared up to deal decisively with such negative activities.
“The security agencies will not spare anyone obstructing the electoral process tomorrow (Sept. 21) as such a person or persons will face the full weight of the law,” he said.
Speaking on the final stage of preparation, the Chairman of ENSIEC, Prof. Christian Ngwu, said that the commission had started the dispatch of the sensitive material and electoral officers to the various council headquarters in the state.
Ngwu, who monitored the sorting and loading process of the sensitive materials, noted that “at this stage, we are 100 per cent fully prepared for the polls”.
“ENSIEC is assuring peaceful, fair, credible and transparent polls.
“The commission is equally promising to provide all the 17 political parties taking part in the polls a level playing field.
“Eligible voters should troop out en masse to exercise their franchise as the security agencies are giving the whole electoral process adequate protection.
“I will also sound a note of warning to trouble makers to steer clear of the polls as we are ready, determined and with robust plans to ensure everything goes smoothly,” he said.
He said that by 8a.m. dot, electoral materials and electoral staff would be on ground in each polling unit in the state.
“We have made adequate arrangements to ensure early commencement of voting, which will end by 3p.m.
“Even the weather will not stop the polls; as we have directed electoral staff to find a way to continue their work while it is raining,” he said.
Over two million voters would be eligible to vote in the polls.
The voting will be done to fill 17 chairmanship and 260 political ward councillorship positions within the 17 council areas in Enugu State.
A total of 4,145 security personnel have been deployed for the polls and they would man 4,145 polling units in the state.
It would be at least a fully armed security man per polling unit.
ENSIEC also recruited and trained 12,800 ad hoc electoral staff for the polls.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
