The Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, has said that anyone thinking it would organize a
special ceremony to issue them their Certificate of Return will be living in
fool’s paradise.
The commission was responding to
questions concerning the Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, through
Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, INEC’s director of Voter Education and Publicity, who
appeared on Channels Television.
The commission said there would
be no such preparation for anybody whose name did not appear on its list of
successful candidates in the 2019 general elections.
“There is no special ceremony for
anybody. I think we should get that one quite clear. Anybody thinking otherwise
will be living in fool’s paradise.” He said.
Osaze-Uzzi was asked to respond
to a comment by Rochas Okorocha.
Okorocha was declared the winner
of the Imo West senatorial election.
However, the presiding officer,
cried out that he was forced to make the declaration.
Governor Okorocha who was left
out of INEC’s list of successful members of the 9th senate, had told reporters:
“Maybe INEC wants to organise a special programme for me to hand over the
certificate to me but clearly, I’ve won and it was a peaceful election.”
