SABOTAGE UNLEASHED: Dr. Nestor Ezeme Votes Amidst Aggressive State-Sponsored Violence, Material Hijacking, and Mass Voter Suppression in Udenu

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial candidate, Barr. Nestor Ezeme, PhD, has cast his vote at his Umundu polling unit under an atmosphere of extreme institutional sabotage. Speaking immediately after his accreditation, Dr. Ezeme vehemently condemned a series of violent attacks and calculated logistical disruptions designed to suppress votes in his strongest strongholds. Ezeme exposed how armed hoodlums—desperate to rescue the unpopular ruling party machinery—hijacked and carted away election materials in Obollo Afor and Ogwu Obollo, while completely starving the largest polling centers of INEC officials and police personnel. Despite this heavy state-backed intimidation, the candidate declared that the masses are defiantly voting for him and that victory remains absolute.
