Okorocha missing as INEC presents Certificates of Return to Lawmakers vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
However, Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha was not available following the decision of the commission to not present him with a certificate for alleged coercing an electoral official to return him forcefully as senator-elect.
He said; “I am sure I was conspicuously absent from the certificates issuance ceremony. I was not there because INEC had removed my name from the list of senators having been declared the winner by the zonal returning officer. So, I am actually waiting to hear why INEC struck my name out.
Earlier, while performing the ceremony Thursday in Abuja, INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu said, “as a matter of urgency, the commission will begin work on post 2019 elections review and road mark to 2023”, adding that while there is a lot of work to be done, there is very little time available. “The tendency to delay electoral reforms particularly the review of electoral framework until it is too close to the elections, leaves the commission with little time to develop processes including regulations and guidelines, make required consultations with stakeholders, embark on effective voter education including sensitization, train staff and organize deployment for the elections.
Members-elect of the House of Representatives were also later in the day presented with their certificates if return. “The fact that they have changed the person that was there means they expect things to be done different. I am very much aware of the problems of the people and what I need to do is to put them across.
