Owerri - Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo and 27 members-elect
for the State House of Assembly were on Thursday presented
with their Certificates of Return by INEC.
Mrs Gladys Nwafor, INEC National Commissioner representing
Imo, Anambra and Ebonyi states presented the certificates to
the recipients.
In her remark at the occasion, Nwafor urged the successful
politicians to keep their promises to the electorate.
She said that with the reform being undertaken by the
commission, those who fail to deliver would find it difficult to
win elections in the future.
She said the commission was happy to conclude the Imo
elections after the re-run exercise, adding that Imo was one of
the flash points where the commission had expressed fears of
possible violence. The commissioner urged the governor to ensure he deliver on
his promises to carry everybody along.
She said the commission would ensure that future elections in
the country were better than the 2015 polls.
Responding on behalf of the other recipients, Okorocha
thanked INEC for concluding the Imo elections and declaring
him winner.
He urged the commission to ensure that those apprehended
for electoral offences were brought to justice to enhance the
credibility of future elections to be conducted by INEC.
Okorocha used the occasion to commend Imo people for their
support and assured them that he would do his best to
deliver quality service to the state.
