Uche Nwosu Won Imo Governorship Election - Okorocha Insists by kahal29: 6:10pm On Mar 13, 2019
Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has declared his son-in-law and candidate of the Action Alliance (AA), Uche Nwosu won Saturday’s governorship election in the state.

“I say so because going by the actual calculation, the person that won this election is Ugwumba Uche Nwosu.

“Uche Nwosu won the election landslide, if you remove the manipulation results from Mbaise, Uche Nwosu won with over 50,000 votes, if you cannot declare him a winner because you have someone already, then they should go for a rerun because you cannot change the Constitution if the Federal Republic of Nigeria because you want to favour a candidate,” he insisted.

He said Nwosu was rigged out of victory by the Governor-elect Emeka Ihedioha in connivance with Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) Professor Francis Ezeonu.

He accused Ezeonu of working for PDP, saying he wrecked democracy with his complicity in alleged electoral manipulations.

According to him: “The REC has shown he was brought to Imo after the 2015 election to return PDP to power in the state.

“The REC had acted illegally by ignoring the provision of the Constitution that makes it mandatory for a candidate to have 25 percent 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 27 LGAs winner.”


Okorocha also wondered why the REC should accept the outrageous figures from the three Local Governments Areas of Aboh Mbaise, Ahiazu Mbaise and Ezinihitte where the PDP candidate got 64,219 votes from Aboh Mbaise alone.

He stated the figures from the three LGAs constituted 50 percent of the total votes got by the PDP candidate in the State with 27 LGAs.

“In the course of this manipulation, we all observed that the REC decided not to use the collation officers from Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO), which he disbanded for reasons he gave that they have met with politicians.

“Again, he brought some people whom he introduced from the University of Agriculture Umudike.

“They arrived just a night before the election date and we thought we have gotten the collation officers. Again, those ones were disbanded on the same reason that they have met with politicians, I wonder how this is possible having arrived the state after midnight on the election eve.

“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 candidate and from the same Local Government. These are relatives of the PDP Candidate who were already briefed of what to do.

“This explains the over voting witnessed in Mbaise. Out of the 270,000 votes that he scored, 50 percent of it or over 130,000 all came from just three local governments of Mbaise”, he stated.

He added “As far as I am concerned and we still maintain that REC has wrecked democracy in Imo State. Unfortunately for them, they were not smart enough to know that section 179 requires you to have a spread at least in 2/3 of the local governments before you can be declared a winner.

“They ended up with only 9 local governments instead of 18 required by law. The Returning Officer was advised by all the Senior Staff of INEC against declaring a winner without looking at the Constitution.

“This man in a hurry decided to announce the result against the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
.


“This is wrong, in doing so, the Returning Officer didn’t even consider the results cancelled, total voters cancelled in the different Polling Booths, was enough to declare the election inconclusive as the difference between the PDP and AA would have called for a supplementary election. With the speed with which he announced the result tells you that the man is part of the game. This again is unacceptable to all of us,” he said.

This result is fake because it's showing Ihedioha winning 9 LGAs instead of 11 LGAs announced by the REC

Ihedioha won 11 LGAs with 25% in 17LGAs

And moreover, there is an LGA that seems to be 24.5% which if approximated will give him 18 LGAs required by Law

I thought you were intelligent.did ihedioha get the 25% spread? If he beat him genuinely,why is the margin not as wide as we saw in kwara or oyo? Why win only 11 out of 17 lgas

Okoroacha has a case here. In as much as I never wanted his son-in-law to win, the law was brazenly stepped on by the Returning Officer by going ahead to declare PDP as winners. He'll effortlessly win at the Tribunal and Appeals Court. And a rerun between AA and PDP will be called.
bisco123:

What case?
Even uche nwosu does not have 25% in 3/4 of the local gov... Dead on arrival
Did I say Nwosu would be declared winner? The law says when the highest scoring candidate fails to win two-thirds, there'll be a fresh election between him and the second place candidate. Understood now?

With what you are saying, there should be a rerun. You can't approximate people though Okorocha is too proud for my liking.

While am not a Supporter of any Political Party in Nigeria!

It should be noted that a Former Close Aide to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the person of Rochas Okorocha is now taking Responsibilities of the INEC by declaring his Son-in-law the Winner of the just concluded Governorship Elections in Imo State.

MORALS:
*The so-called Leaders doesn't give a heck about the Voice of the People;
* The so-called Leaders doesn't give a heck about Democracy;
* The so-called Leaders doesn't give a heck about the development of the People.
* This man's actions of late should enlarge the insights a Reasonable Nigerian who our Incumbent truly is. After all, it was said that Birds of the Same Feathers flocks Together. He was a Former Close Aide to the President, now they have their differences but he's still got the effontry to trample on the People's Wish.

Shame.


SMH.
