The AA candidate claimed some persons used his name to file the petition against Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu's victory without his knowledge.
Ifeanyi Igbokwe, the House of Representatives candidate of the Action Alliance for Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State in the 25 February election, has dissociated himself from a petition challenging the victory of Benjamin Kalu of the All Progressives Congress in the election.
After the declaration of the result, Mr Igbokwe allegedly filed a petition to challenge Mr Kalu’s victory at the National Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal in Umuahia, the state capital. He said the impersonators have also filed another petition challenging the decision of the tribunal at the Court of Appeal.
Mr Igbokwe emphasised that he is not aware of the petitions and he does not issue authorisation to anybody to challenge the outcome of the election. Mr Igbokwe called on the police and the SSS to conduct an appropriate investigation into the issue and fish out the impersonators.
