Frontline Labour Party (LP) governorship aspirant in Imo state, Major General Lincoln Keonyemere Jack Ogunewe (rtd) has revealed that the results of the Imo State House of Assembly election were written a week before the election was held on March 18.
“Results were already written a week before the election at Rockview Hotel, Owerri where the election riggers were accommodated and supervised by INEC Officials” he said
Speaking to journalists in Owerri, he condemned in strong terms what he described as a sham elections conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Imo state.
He called for the immediate sack of the Imo State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) whom she accused is in Imo State to do the bidding of Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma.
Ogunewe said that ”Results declared did not represent the wishes of the people of Imo State. I saw in videos that went viral, the Police using armoured personnel carriers with guns, thugs using axes with the aid of All Progressives Congress (APC) Officials to intimidate voters who were not voting for APC.”
”Places like Orlu and Okigwe senatorial zones where no election took place in most places still had results declared. How is that possible?” He queried.
He however advised Imo people to remain calm while efforts will be made to challenge these widespread illegality in the courts.
