A potentially explosive situation is unfolding in Amede Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area, Enugu State, as the  Commissioner Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development & Chieftancy Affairs, Deacon Okey Ogbodo and Chairman Isi Uzo Local Government Area, Mr. Obiora Obeagu face allegations of attempting to impose a defeated candidate as Igwe.

The controversy centers on a 2019 election on September 5th, between Chief Simeon Mgborogwu Edeoga and Chief Emeoha Michael Ikechukwu. Chief Edeoga reportedly won with 619 votes, but Hon. Ogbodo and Hon. Obeagu seem to be disregarding the community's mandate.

The Amede community is urging security agencies to intervene, citing a pending court case. They warn that any attempt to disrupt peace will be met with resistance. The community also questions the legitimacy of the election, given the absence of a Town Union Executive for three years.

How can election take place where there is no town union Executive?
