Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, yesterday(13th May), in Abuja, deflated the hope of an aspirant for the Speaker of the ninth House of Representatives, Chike Okafor, as the commission withdrew his certificate of return and presented a fresh certificate of return to Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba as member-elect for Okigwe South Federal Constituency.

Nwajiuba ran on the platform of Accord Party, following a long-drawn crisis that almost crippled the All Progressives Congress, APC, his former party, in Imo State. Following the earlier return of Okafor as member-elect, Nwajiuba had headed to the court where he got the reliefs he sought, thereby dashing the hopes of Chike Okafor. Receiving his certificate yesterday at INEC headquarters in Abuja, Nwajiuba lent his voice to calls for the zoning of the House Speakership to the South-East geopolitical zone for national stability, inclusiveness and consolidation of the progress made by the ruling party in South-East.

According to him, “APC made great progress in 2019 than in 2015 elections. So, zoning such a position to the region will enhance national stability, inclusiveness and consolidation of the APC in the South-East.” Earlier, while presenting the certificate to Nwajiuba, INEC national commissio-ner, Festus Okoye, said the commission would always obey the orders of the court, denying claims in some quarters that the commission was selective in adhering to court orders.

Yes my brother.it is clear.inec's haste in reissuing the certificate of return is hasty.i think the federal high court erred here.how can someone in another party challenge what happened in apc primaries? Again,even if the suit was instituted when he was still in apc,him being in accord party now should nullify that case.the supreme court will surely correct this anomaly

The court erred.

He's the best lawmaker in imo.either nwajiuba returns to apc to enjoy the mandate or he remains in accord and still lose out totally.how can he be in accord and still challenge what happens in apc.

Try and understand me.am in an area where network is bad so i may not be able to comment again.


The post said nwajiuba challenged the apc primaries after the election when he had already joined accord party.that is not possible.only a participant in that primary can challenge the process.now assuming that emeka was a participant,he is no longer in apc but in accord party therefore the case should have been struck out.except nwajiuba will take the apc mandate.
Forget about my comments about whether chike is good or not,its not relevant.
