Certificate Of Return: Okorocha cries out begs INEC

Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, has pleaded with the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to issue him, his certificate of return.

Okorocha, who said he won the February 23rd National Assembly Election conducted by the INEC said the commission cannot seize his certificate because of a mere petition against him.

The outgoing governor made this known when some of his supporters marched to the government house to protest.

Recall that INEC removed his name from the list of senators-elect who will receive their various certificates on Thursday. The commission argued that the governor was declared winner under duress.

In view of the above therefore, Okorocha opined, “I wonder why INEC will withhold my certificate for a frivolous reason, without hearing from me. I am not a violent person and those who know me know that,” he said.

“This is why we have peace in Imo state. The Returning Officer could not have done that under duress under the watchful eyes of the Police, DSS and party agents. I am not unmindful of the fact that those who are fighting me from Abuja are anxious to see me removed as a senator. I urge INEC to do the right thing immediately by releasing my certificate.

“Let me tell every Nigerian that I fought no one and no one should fight me. If anyone fights me, he will be the loser at the end of it all. My INEC Certificate cannot be touched or seized, doing so is belittling democracy in Nigeria.

“It is only the tribunal that has the right to say otherwise once a result is declared. INEC cannot seize my certificate by mere petition written by somebody in a case I was not given the opportunity to present my own side of the story.”

    Okoroawusa, why not strike a deal with Ihedioha and voluntarily return all of those properties to Imo State so as to avoid any fun fair or drama.
