According to the<br \/>\ncommission, Okorocha was declared winner of the election &#8220;under duress&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Governor has kicked against the move, saying: &#8220;In my own<br \/>\ncase, my Certificate of Return has not been issued and I wonder why INEC<br \/>\nwill withhold my certificate for a frivolous reason, without hearing from<br \/>\nme.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not a violent person and those who know me know that. This is why we<br \/>\nhave peace in Imo State. The Returning Officer could not have done that<br \/>\nunder duress under the watchful eyes of the Police, DSS and party agents.<br \/>\nI am not unmindful of the fact that those who are fighting me from Abuja<br \/>\nare anxious to see me removed as a senator. I urge INEC to do the right<br \/>\nthing immediately by releasing my certificate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let me tell every Nigerian that I fought no one and no one should fight<br \/>\nme. If anyone fights me, he will be the loser at the end of it all. My<br \/>\nINEC Certificate cannot be touched or seized, doing so is belittling<br \/>\ndemocracy in Nigeria. It is only the tribunal that has the right to say<br \/>\notherwise once a result is declared. INEC cannot seize my certificate by<br \/>\nmere petition written by somebody in a case I was not given the<br \/>\nopportunity to present my own side of the story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also rejected the result of the governorship election in the state,<br \/>\nstating that Emeka Ihedioha, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party<br \/>\n(PDP) and Imo Governor-elect, didn&#8217;t have the required number of votes to<br \/>\nemerge winner.<\/p>\n<p>He continued: &#8220;The REC had acted illegally by ignoring the provision of<br \/>\nthe Constitution that makes it mandatory for a candidate to have 25 per<br \/>\ncent in two-thirds of the local governments in the state by announcing the<br \/>\nPDP candidate, Emeka Ihedioha who only met the requirement in 9 Local<br \/>\nGovernments instead of 18 LGAs, which is two-thirds\u00a0 of 27 LGAs winner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Noting that figures from Aboh Mbaise, Ahiazu Mbaise and Ezinihitte, where<br \/>\nthe PDP candidate got 64,219 votes from Aboh Mbaise alone, were<br \/>\n&#8220;outrageous&#8221;, he stressed that Uche Nwosu, governorship candidate of<br \/>\nAction Alliance (AA) won the election and had the required spread by<br \/>\nsecuring 25 percent of the votes in 21 out of the 27 LGAs in the state.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For the REC to have ignored the Constitutional provision for the<br \/>\nannouncement of the winner of the governorship election only explains his<br \/>\ndesperation to announce the PDP candidate winner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI say so because going by the actual calculation, the person that won<br \/>\nthis election is Ugwumba Uche Nwosu. Uche Nwosu won the election in a<br \/>\nlandslide. If you remove the manipulated results from Mbaise, Uche Nwosu<br \/>\nwon with over 50,000 votes. If you cannot declare him a winner because you<br \/>\nhave someone already, then they should go for a rerun because you cannot<br \/>\nchange the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because you<br \/>\nwant to favour a candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the course of this manipulation, we all observed that the REC decided<br \/>\nnot to use the collation officers from Federal University of Technology<br \/>\nOwerri (FUTO), which he disbanded for reasons he gave that they have met<br \/>\nwith politicians. Again, he brought some people whom he introduced from<br \/>\nthe University of Agriculture, Umudike. They arrived just a night before<br \/>\nthe election date and we thought we have gotten the collation officers.<br \/>\nAgain, those ones were disbanded for the same reason that they have met<br \/>\nwith politicians. I wonder how this is possible having arrived the state<br \/>\nafter midnight on the eve of election day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow the REC went to his own university in Awka to bring in collation<br \/>\nofficers. We believed him, not knowing that he brought people he has been<br \/>\ntraining for a hatched job for some weeks now in Anambra State to come and<br \/>\ncarry out this injustice in Imo State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese men arrived with heavy security from Anambra and went straight to<br \/>\nthe various Local Governments. We never knew that these were relatives of<br \/>\nthe PDP candidate and from the same Local Government. These are relatives<br \/>\nof the PDP candidate, who were already briefed on what to do. This<br \/>\nexplains the over voting witnessed in Mbaise. Out of the 270,000 votes<br \/>\nthat he scored, 50 per cent of it or over 130,000 all came from just three<br \/>\nlocal governments of Mbaise.<\/p>\n<p>As far as I am concerned, we still maintain that REC has wrecked democracy<br \/>\nin Imo State. Unfortunately for them, they were not smart enough to know<br \/>\nthat Section 179 requires you to have a spread at least in two-third of<br \/>\nthe local governments before you can be declared a winner. They ended up<br \/>\nwith only nine local governments instead of 18 required by law. The<br \/>\nReturning Officer was advised by all the senior staff of INEC against<br \/>\ndeclaring a winner without looking at the Constitution. This man in a<br \/>\nhurry decided to announce the result against the Constitution of the<br \/>\nFederal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is wrong. In doing so, the Returning Officer didn\u2019t even consider<br \/>\nthe results cancelled. Total votes cancelled in the different polling<br \/>\nbooths was enough to declare the election inconclusive as the difference<br \/>\nbetween the PDP and AA would have called for a supplementary election. The<br \/>\nspeed with which he announced the result tells you that the man is part of<br \/>\nthe game. This again is unacceptable to all of us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is obvious that this fight is targeted against me by some of those who<br \/>\nhave decided to fight me from Abuja. I am ready to take this fight as much<br \/>\nas I can, but don\u2019t transfer this aggression you have against me to<br \/>\nanybody associated with me; that would not be acceptable. Allow the young<br \/>\nman who won the election to be so declared.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Comrade Ezenna Okoro, who led the youth, expressed dissatisfaction with<br \/>\nthe election outcome and issued an ultimatum to the commission to address<br \/>\nthe issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cINEC should not provoke us and we are giving them 24 hours to reverse the<br \/>\nelection of Imo North Senatorial Zone won by Emenike, and as a matter of<br \/>\nfact give us a date for the rerun between Uche Nwosu and the PDP<br \/>\ncandidate, having failed to make up the Constitutional requirement,&#8221; he<br \/>\nstated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"conversation-footer\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Embattled Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has said his certificate of election as a senator cannot be seized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
