A gubernatorial aspirant in the upcoming Anambra State governorship election, Chief Udo Udeogaranya, has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to release the timetable for the election.

He said it was also a sign that the commission was waiting for some political interests to be accommodated before doing so.
He said INEC should be the unbiased umpire it ought to be in the contest by releasing the timetable immediately.
The statement by Udeogaranya reads: “The non-release of Ananmbra State gubernatorial election timetable amounts to political negligence and playing waiting game in order to accommodate some political interests before going public with the Anambra State gubernatorial election timetable.
“I therefore urge Prof. Athahiru Jega led Independent Electoral Commission to urgently publish the election timetable within the week or at most, next week.
“As an unbiased electoral umpire, Prof. Athahiru Jega and his commission must extricate it selves from all sorts of hide and seek and waiting game under the glimpse shadow of vast time provided by the electoral act and embrace transparency and resoluteness in executing its responsibility in a timely manner that guarantees timely fairness to all candidates and interested parties.
“Failure of Prof. Athahiru Jega and his commission to release the timetable by next week, would prompt the belief that Prof. Jega lacks democratic integrity, necessary in piloting the nations electoral responsibilities impartially and I will not hesitate to call for his immediate resignation.”
