Imo Guber Tribunal: Anxiety mounts as parties await judgment
There is palpable anxiety in Imo State as the governorship election tribunal sets for judgment.
The trio of Ugwumba Uche Nwosu of the Action Alliance, Senators Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress and Ifeanyi Ararume of the All Progressives Congress are challenging the victory of the PDP candidate, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, in the March 9th governorship election in the State. Nwosu, who polled over 180,000 votes to place second is contending that the PDP candidate allegedly colluded with officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, manipulate and inflate figures in the three Mbaise LGAs of the State, and asked the tribunal to cancel the results from areas where the said massive fraud was perpetrated, and declare him winner with valid votes cast in the election.
Alternatively, he asked the court to declare the election inconclusive and order a run-off between him and Emeka Ihedioha, as according to him, it is obvious by the Certified True Copies of results presented at the tribunal that the PDP candidate fell short of the provision of section 159 of the Constitution.But a senior aide of the governor, who would not want his name in print, as he is not permitted to speak on the issue, told our correspondent that there was no cause for alarm.
