you are wrong here , the battle is between inec and iberiberism founder okorocha. Already pdp senatorial candidate has taken both the inec and okorocha to the court of justice . So let's keep our fingers crossed .
How am i wrong? Stop misunderstanding me.i predicted clearly that the court will order inec to give rochas his return cert and it has happened.rochas will be in the senate for the inauguration and thats it.whatever happens at the appeal is a matter for another day.for now,i won and you and your loquacious cohorts lost

There not.just like saying anambra and ebonyi are same thing.none of the tribes indigenous to cross river is indigenous to akwa ibom and vice versa.take note.am not even from the efik ibibio area.am from the upper side which borders abia state


You trying to use ebonyi as comparison to hit me won't work.

Upper side which borders abia state doesn't it have an ethnicity?



Cross river and Akwa ibom are like an inseparable twins, co-joined twins that u can hardly different one from the other if u didn't observe well.


So the indigenous tribes had long years of coexistence to be one...

I wonder where u getting this your theory From.

Oga,stop being senseless.the matter before the court today was not about who won or rigging but a case of wrongful declaration and inec withholding a certificate.

About the main polls,there was no incident of rigging.trouble only began when 9 lga results have been announced and rochas won in 8.the trouble even induced the remaining results to be announced.be properly guided please

Nobody can win Okorocha in Orlu Zone. Shambles or no shambles. Performance or not. I am saying my own as it is, I am neither useless PDP or APC but that is the plain truth.
You can choose to play bitterness and sentiments but the truth must be said.

Very bad of them.i have a thread about this case.i deduced that since the results were inconclusive originally before the alleged forced declaration,inec could have quickly called for supplementary polls.or inec could disqualify okorocha as a candidate and declare apc the winner or inec can disqualify rochas and let apc field someone else for the supplementaries.this would have given inec a lot of advantage and leverage in court.
But unilaterally withholding the return certificate indefinitely is lawless and no court will accept this.

you don't have any point here. Why did the election marred with violence and intimidation by his thugs on that election day. Speak up the truths here please. Okorocha will never win his senatorial election if another poll is conducted again.

there were series of rigging and intimidation of voters too. Infacts the results was announced under duress .You never have conscience to tell us the truth cos' you have vowed not to tell Nigerians and nairalanders the truths. Besides the pdp senatorial candidate have approached the tribunal to seek redress on the sham election .

I had posited in the past that INEC will find it difficult to spin this one. It stands logic on the head that you announce a winner (declaration) and then claim "under duress". The the REC not know the meaning and context of "Declaration of winner" under the law? That INEC withheld Okorocha's Cert is even ridiculous. There is nowhere in the law that stipulates that INEC can "cease" a certificate of return.

Governor Rochas Okorocha is leading in election results announced so far from Imo West Senatorial District election.

He has won in eight out of the 12 local governments in the district.

The returning officer, I.I. Ibeabuchi started collating the results at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) office in Orlu Local Government area of the state around 8:45 p.m. Sunday night.

Mr Ibeabuchi, a professor in Federal University Technology Owerri (FUTO), has so far collated results for nine of the local governments.

Mr Okorocha won eight but lost Osu LGA to his closest challenger, Jones Onyeriri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Mr Okorocha’s old rival, Osita Izunaso, who ran under All Progressives Grand Alliances (APGA) is coming behind Mr Onyeriri in the results so far.

Results from three LGAs are being awaited for Imo west district.

The election was adjudged by observers and participants to be fraught with irregularities such as ballot snatching, invasion and harassment by thugs, especially in Mr Okorocha’s strongholds.

Despite his fallout with the Imo State chapter of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC), Mr Okorocha rode on the flag of the party to lead his close rivals in results so far.

Mr Izunaso, a former senator of Imo west, was in the APC with Mr Okorocha until the crisis currently rocking the ruling party, prompting him (Izunaso) and his allies to jump to APGA.

Many saw the race for Imo west senate seat as one of the toughest battles Mr Okorocha would face in his waning political career.

That was before the duress allegation.he was leading or winning fair and square

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a certificate of return to former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha. Justice Okon Abang on Friday ruled that the having been declared by the Returning Officer as the winner of the February 23 senatorial election for Imo West Senatorial District (Orlu Zone), INEC has no reason not to issue him certificate of return.

Justice Abang overruled the submission by candidates of the PDP, Jones Onyeriri and APGA, Osita Izunaso that the matter ought to be taken to the election petitions tribunal since it has become a post-election matter which robbed the court of jurisdiction under sections 285, 251(1) of the 1999 Constitution. The judge held that petitions to the election tribunal under Section 133 of the Electoral Act should be made by the losers, and not the person declared winner whether under duress or not.

“The reliefs sought by the plaintiff (Okorocha) does not relate to the validity of the election to warrant him filing petitions at the election tribunal,” the judge said. “The tribunal has no jurisdiction to answer questions as to the validity of INEC’s action. Action of INEC not to issue certificate of return is unknown to the Constitution and the Electoral Act.”

you never have conscience in your life cos' you are paid for your post here. The whole world knows that the IMO west senatorial district was marred with violence and intimidation by Apc thugs. Infact thank God for press, series of videos and pictures were released in the social media about what happened that day. Keep living in your deluded state of mind. You have no conscience here.

The whole country sees Okorocha as a useless clown, he is going nowhere from here.
Many of these fools cheering him on here will never agree or allow him to be there LGA chairman talk less of governor. They only support him to spite the Igbos.
