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 not to present him with a certificate for allegedly coercing an electoral official to announce him winner of the February 23, Imo West senatorial poll.
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.“I am told from the grapevine that it was because of duress.
“We had maintained that Uzodinma was just a mole in the APC. Today, the governorship election in the state and its outcome have obviously vindicated us. Aside, Chief Uzodinma worked for the PDP in the Presidential/National Assembly elections and also in the governorship/House of Assembly elections. He was one of the first set of people to celebrate with the PDP candidate, Chief Emeka Ihedioha the moment he was announced the winner of the election.
The governor-elect commended other contestants in the election for their “sportsmanship” and urged them to partner his administration to “restore the dignity of the state”. Dedicating his success to the “common men,” he commended the people for buying into his vision of realising a dream state and promised to work hard to justify their faith in him.
He also promised to work out programmes, which would engage the youth as a way to end drug abuse and curb vices, starting with the rehabilitation of the four technical colleges in the state.The Imo state governor-elect, Emeka Ihedioha, yesterday said that the era of brazenness in governance has come to an end in Imo state.
