The Independent National Electoral commission, INEC, has declared the immediate past speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly and candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC,Chief Benjamin Uwajumogu in the keenly contested and tension soaked Imo North (Okigwe zone) rerun and supplementary elections as senator elect.

The electoral body had declared as inconclusive the rerun election held July 23,and fixed Thursday supplementary election in polling units where the polls didn't take place on the first date.

APC had headed to the supplementary rerun election with a lead margin of 8,777 votes and completed the famous victory with a total of 12, 261 votes difference after smashing the polls on the second time.

INEC equally announced the APC candidates in Isiala Mbano and Oru East State constituencies, Dr Chiji Collins and Hon Nkenna Nzeruo winners of the rerun elections also held simultaneously in the areas with that of Imo North Senatorial district own.

APC was also announced winner of the rerun election held Saturday in Owerri West State constituency.

This is a tip of the iceberg....By the time we are done with them In Edo State...they will quickly recognize Sheriff as the authentic Chairman of their dead party....Ndi ara!!


This Is a party whose manifesto is lying, preaching hatred among ethnic groups, seting one religion against another, looting, supporting and sponsoring criminals, Providing logistics for terrorist groups like IPoB and Avengers..Yet they expect Nigerians to vote them...

PDP is a terrorist group and must be wiped off In Nigeria..

Before this elections they were boasting that even If Buhari conducted the election that PdP would win...

Good News.

There are some on Nairaland,who I think live on Mgbidi Road in Anambra,but claim to be from Imo State.

The way they talk about Rochas and the APC here,you will think the party will not be able to win any election in Imo. They even called Rochas,Okwohausa.

But see?shows you in Politics,the silent majority always wins via the ballot.

Congrats to the Imo State APC.

Ex Governor Ohakim has already stated in detail how Governor Rochas Okorohausa and APC used state apparatus to hijack the electoral process to deliver Uwajumogu. Considering how unpopular APC is in Igbo land, I have to agree he is right. For some insane reason Rochas thinks that getting an APC senator of Igbo extraction to be senate deputy president is what will make Igbos accept APC, the man is fool. Until some sort of biometric voting system is introduced, Nigerian elections will always be a joke.

You mean like the PVC system?

I thought PDP hated it, wanted it done away with and got the supreme Court to relegate its use.

E pain am grin

Meanwhile a biometric voting system has since been introduced by Jega to clean up this mess. But what happened to it?.... Courtesy of 2015 election tribunals, PDP ensured it used the supreme court to kill that novel idea and of course, they got their reward when the supreme court declared them winner in Rivers, Abia and Akwa ibom while their supporters cheered on. But it wasnt too difficult to see the folly in that move, it wasnt too difficult to see that it would only backfire on PDP in no time.

Congratulations to Rochas Okorocha and all the victorious APC candidates. This victory had put to rest the fraudulent claims by wailers that APC cannot win election in the south east. The party should take the next step by ensuring that Chief Benjamin Uwajumogu quickly succeeds Ike Ekweremadu as deputy senate president.

One would have believed this lie if Rochas hadn't contested & retained his seat, also gotten 2 Rep seats last year under APC..... Being in pain should not wrought delusion....

Did you not rejoice when SCR and PVC were invalidated by SC in PDP's favour in Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Abia etc?

You can't rejoice then and moan now, it isn't hyproctitical, it's plain foolishness...

In the last cases of Rivers and Akwa-Ibom governorship elections, the Supreme Court ruled that it was right to rig elections. The Supreme Court ruled that irregularities in the election process including rigging, buying of votes, intimidation and harassment of voters by military and paramilitary men, ballot stuffing, e.t.c. are not enough to make elections invalid. Therefore, elections can be won by any means. Roaches, sorry I mean Roachas OkoroHausa as you call him has won this election in the way and manner recognized and approved by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Up Roachas, Up Buhari.

I laugh when I see statements like this, First Imo state has 2 APC HoR members and Rochas didn't use his influence as Chairman of Progressives guv'nor to get them any position.
Next; Imo state the only APC led state in the S/east had to settle for junior minister in the current cabinet while other Igbo states had leading ministers!!! Why do u think this is so?

It's cos of the selfishness of that fraud called Rochas who wouldn't anyone from Imo to have any important post so as to continue his stranglehold on Imo APC.


If Uwajimogu gets any post in the senate, I'd quit wearing clothes, what with power hungry Rochas who worked against Hon. Chike Okafor getting any post in the HoR.
