A shocking impersonation scandal has rocked the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) primaries in Alor Ward 1, Idemili South, as a mysterious candidate, Obi Ngige, emerges as the party’s councillorship candidate. The controversy surrounds the discrepancy between the names of those who purchased the Expression of Interest Form and the name on the party’s shortlist. Records show that Anakwenze Celestine O, Ngige Clinton Bonaventure, and Uche Kennedy Chidi bought the forms, but Obi Ngige’s name was the one that made the cut.
The people of Alor Ward 1 are outraged, demanding to know who Obi Ngige is and how he emerged as the candidate despite not being among those who purchased the form. “This is a clear case of impersonation and electoral malpractice,” a source said. “The party must explain why it shortlisted a name that wasn’t among those who showed interest in the first place.” The zoning formula in Alor Ward 1 dictates that it’s Umuru-Ide village’s turn to produce a councillor, and Obi Ngige’s emergence is seen as a clear disregard for this arrangement. The fact that Ngige Clinton Bonaventure, one of the original form purchasers, has a son with a NABTEB result that matches the one used by Obi Ngige, raises suspicions of a deeper conspiracy.
The APGA party leadership must provide answers to the people of Alor Ward 1. The shortlisting of Obi Ngige is a mockery of the party’s own guidelines and raises questions about the integrity of the electoral process. “This is not just about one individual; it’s about the future of our ward,” a concerned citizen said. We demand transparency and accountability from APGA and urge the authorities to investigate this scandal and take necessary action. The people of Alor Ward 1 will not be silenced; we want justice and fairness in our electoral process.
