Following last Saturday’s supplementary election to determine the eventual winner of the Orlu/Orsu/Oru East federal constituency of Imo State, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Tuesday declared Jerry Alagboso of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the poll.

In a tensed atmosphere following the invasion of the INEC collation centre by the Police earlier today, the Returning Officer, Dr. Emma Anakuba, from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, said Alagboso scored a total of 22,475 to defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC), Edwin Iheanacho, who polled 20,814 votes.

He said, however, the results from two of the remaining four units were cancelled due to over-voting. The declaration took place in the presence of the Imo state Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Prof. Francis Chukwuemeka Ezeonu; the National Commissioner in charge of South South, Mrs. May Agbamuche-Mbu; and her counterpart from Northwest, Abubakar Natuche, among others after the reconciliation of all the figures.

The Imo state Commissioner of Police, Bolaji Fafowora, who had earlier stormed the venue, Prof. Okey Ibeanu hall, to stop the announcement, was allegedly resisted by Ezeonu.

Iheanacho, had filed a petition in the tribunal after Alagboso won in the 2019 election as a returnee to the lower chamber of the National Assembly.

Daily Trust reports that an Appeal Court had also ordered the INEC to conduct a supplementary election in 18 wards in Orlu.

Also, Daily Trust had earlier reported that there was confusion at the INEC headquarters in Owerri as Police detachment led by CP Fafowora invaded the centre, asking the REC to stop the announcement of the results of the supplementary election.

The election was stalemated last Saturday by thugs who invaded the collation centre at Orlu after results from 14 out of 18 polling units had been announced.

Following the directive from INEC headquarters, our reporter gathered that the collation of the remaining four units were ordered to be announced so that the eventual winner could emerge before the commissioner approached the REC asking him to suspend further announcement.

But his instruction was rebuffed by the REC and other INEC officials in attendance.

It took the intervention of Mrs. May Agbamuche-Mbu, who explained the guidelines to the Police commissioner before he allowed the process to continue.

But order was restored and the results were eventually announced at about 5:30pm.

Great. Now I understand why d CP was on autodrive and had to mobilise to INEC collation ctr to do d bidding of d APC based on federal might having sensed dat PDP was coasting to victory but d resoluteness of d INEC officers quenched their mission

That's the Constituency of Hope Uzodinma......hmmmm

No.wonder the CP said to the REC allow me to do my work...





2023 Election will be APC or WAR.... The Senate better send the electoral bill to the president...the earlier the better

He will be forced to decamp to APC

This is how the APC have been winning election by remote control.Anytime they sense defeat, they will use subterfuge to circumvent due process.Thanks to the resolute determination of the INEC officials.Too bad.

Congrats to him, though the election riggers and results writers that are back in the state tried everything possible to deny him his victory

Congratulations to Jerry Alagboso and PDP.

This is a confirmation that indeed, APC can never win any free and fair election in IMO state.

Tommorrow Supreme court will declare the last the winner

Selective poster.
I see you.. Egbon 30k

Gathering of failures and thieves.
Supporters of criminals that looted and raped our nation are still all gloating in foolishness.
Supporters of the criminals that put our darling nation in this same mess, party that introduced killings and electoral shenanigans into our darling nation in the first place.
Shameless small time criminals on loose and laughing at their foolishness!

HYPOCRITES that wail 'OUR DEMOCRACY IS IN DANGER' anytime judgement favour any other political parties, but shout 'OUR DEMOCRACY IS SAFE AND SECURE' when their thieving and looting party of rapists won!
HYPOCRITES everywhere!

Quote, if this post gets to you as usual.
Barawos!



A President once told us in this country that the coming polls would be do or die.
Not with President Buhari. Fair is fair.
No foul play.
Under his watch, his political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lost gubernatorial elections in Bayelsa, Oyo, Zamfara, Rivers and Anambra states etc....
At the last Council of States meeting, Gov Willie Obiano publicly registered his appreciation to President Buhari, for the level playing ground he made available during the election in his state.
With do or die apostles, and a certain political party in power, such would never happen. Not with their garrison mentality. All states are territories that must be conquered, willy-nilly.

APC is a scam

So they canceled votings in 4 unit6and that makes sense to you in an election this close? I see another rerun loading.

Now, he me defect to the APC, ndi ara

Democracy is not under attack now.

If this ugly trend isn't nip in the bud, Imo may sooner or later replace Rivers State as the theater of blood letting.

APC learnt Well from PDP and became better. We all wish well for our counterparts or don't you think, you wailer?
