A political stakeholder in Nkwerre-Isu-Nwangele-Njaba Federal Constituency has described the delayed announcement of the victory of Rt. Hon. Ozurigbo Ugonna as the restoration of the sanctity in the electoral process of Nigeria.

Speaking to members of the press from his residence in United Kingdom, Mr. Maxwell Alakwe congratulated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate at the 2023 elections for Nkwerre-Isu-Nwangele-Njaba Federal Constituency, Hon. Ozurigbo Ugonna, for his resilience in ensuring that the intended daylight robbery of his victory never saw the light of day.

Mr. Alakwe noted that it was bewildering to see the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) spend 2 months to declare the winner of an election many have described to be free and fair.

He further noted that following his close monitoring of the elections, the victory of the lawmaker, OZB, was largely due to his antecedents of visibke and impactful performance.

The UK based social Commentator noted that the last time such a huge margin won an election in the federal constituency was in 2011 when Hon. Juliet Akano scored over 80,000 votes to win election to represent the constituency. Still, he reminded that the election was in an era when only one party held sway in the politics of Imo State and Nigeria at large.

Continuing, Mr. Maxwell noted that if OZB was announced the winner in total negligence of the actual results gotten at the polling units, then it would have signified the death of democracy in Imo State.

"OZB's victory is a reminder that hard work pays. It has further strengthened the idea that only representatives who do right by their people should be allowed to represent their people and not some party bandwagon support."

"His victory has once again rekindled the hope of the common man in the electoral process, though there are still many loopholes to be amended and tweaking to be carried out to tighten and strengthen our election process.

He reminded the brand new member-elect for Nkwerre-Isu-Nwangele-Njaba to remember his campaign promises to the constituents and do his best to ensure he achieves them.
