INEC’s REC Prof. Ezeonu has wrecked democracy in Imo State – Okorocha vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The governor who spoke when thousands of youths came on protest over the ugly developments in the Conduct of the 2019 elections, on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 at the Government House said that the REC had acted illegally by ignoring the provision of the Constitution that makes it mandatory for a Candidate to have 25% in 2/3 of the Local Governments in the State by announcing the PDP Candidate, Emeka Ihedioha who only met the requirement in 9 Local Governments instead of 18 LGAs which is 2/3 of...
The governor also regretted that the REC has become a willing tool in the hands of those fighting him, adding that for the REC to have ignored the Constitutional provision for the announcement of the winner of the governorship election only explains his desperation to announce the PDP Candidate winner.
“Now, the REC went to his own University in Awka to bring in collation officers. We believed him not knowing that he brought people he has been training for a hatched job for some weeks now in Anambra State to come and carry out this injustice in Imo State,“These men arrived with heavy security from Anambra and went straight to the various local governments. We never knew that these were relatives of the PDP Candidates and from the same local government.
He Continued “In the case of Emenike who Contested for Okigwe Zone Senatorial election. While the election was going on there, the zonal Returning Officer somewhere declared a Candidate winner while the people were still voting at their various polling booths. It looked like a tale when I got wind of the situation. Somebody just declared a result with only the zonal result sheets without the result sheets from the booths and ward levels.
