NDC Aspirant Madumer Claims Gender Discrimination in Primaries
Nkasiobi Madumer, a legal practitioner and female aspirant for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) ticket for the federal constituency in Abia State, has alleged gross gender discrimination during the party's primary elections held on May 29, 2026. Madumer reported that officials ignored her presence and support, which included a queue of 500 supporters, while favoring six male co-aspirants.
She stated that when she arrived at the venue in Olokoro at 4:30 PM, she witnessed a massive turnout but was denied the opportunity to have her votes counted. Despite her protests, the officials refused to acknowledge her claims.
Madumer also noted that the primary venue was changed multiple times, and voting did not commence until 4:30 PM, causing many supporters to leave due to fatigue. She accused state officials of collaborating with male aspirants to manipulate the process and has appealed to the NDC national leadership for intervention regarding the alleged irregularities in Abia State.
