Electoral Malpractice Allegation: Igini’s Classmates Tell Edo APC To Call Members To Order
The executive members of Okotie-Eboh Gammar School Old Boys Association, Sapele (OGSOBA), have vouched for the integrity of the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner for Akwa Ibom State, Mr Mike Igini, over allegation of electoral malpractice levelled against him by the members of All Progressives Congress (APC), Edo State.
OGSOBA, while vouching for Igini’s integrity in a statement issued by its Acting President, Mr Richard Okotie, told the leaders of the APC in the state to urgently call to order its members, Col. David Imuse (rtd) and John Mayaki , over their misguided and undeserved mischaracterisation of their classmate.
The statement reads: “OGSOBA executive, led by Omene Precious declares unequivocally that as old boys, many of whom are seniors and many others juniors to Mr Igini, we knew him from his formative years in school as a well behaved role model, diligent, upright and a very strict punctuality school prefect as a student of Okotie-Eboh Grammar School.
“We knew him as a stickler to rules and abhored senior students oppression of juniors, No one who has known Mike Igini from his early school days is surprised that he continued to exhibit these positive traits consistently after secondray school and at the University of Benin where his name rang and continues to ring bell on matters of decency and good behaviour that we have always known him for over the years”.
