‘They will not escape this’ – Emeka Ike storms INEC office over NDC primary election
A mild protest erupted at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Abuja on Monday as Nollywood actor and House of Representatives aspirant, Emeka Ike, expressed dissatisfaction over the conduct of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) primary election for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) seat.
Ike, who recently declared his intention to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives, stormed the INEC office, alleging irregularities in the party’s primary election process, which he claimed compromised its credibility.
DAILY POST gathered that the actor lost the party’s primary election.
Addressing officials during the protest, Ike voiced anger over the outcome, insisting that he would not remain silent over what he described as injustice in the electoral process.
“We don’t have an address when the election is going on. I am an aspirant, I’m a Nigerian,” he said.
“You won’t go away with this. I don’t do social media activism. INEC will not escape this,” he added.
