Governorship candidate of the
Action Alliance (AA) in Imo state, Uche Nwosu, has said that he is ready to
form a fresh alliance with his former party, All Progressives Congress (APC) in
a bid to reclaim his alleged stolen mandate.
According to him, he has put
aside the purported injustice the APC meted on him since the party has realized
its mistakes after its poor showing in the governorship and House of Assembly
elections.
Nwosu, who stated this on Tuesday
in a chat with journalists, disclosed that he has petitioned the Tribunal
against the declaration of Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
as governor-elect.
He added that he is confident
that the election will be upturned.
He said, “The national leadership
of the APC made a mistake by not giving the party’s ticket to me, we warned
them against giving the ticket to Hope Uzodinma but the leadership of the party
ignored our warnings, but the outcome of the elections has justified us.
“We joined the AA two months to
the election and I won the governorship election if not for the manipulations,
we also got two Federal House Representatives seats and eight seats in the
State Assembly but now that they have realized their mistakes we are ready to
form alliance with APC to reclaim our mandate.
He pointed out that the
declaration of the PDP candidate as the governor-elect by the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) was an aberration to the Constitution and
will not stand.
“I have petitioned the Tribunal
and I am sure that the issues raised which bother on constitution cannot be
swept away, I am certain that I will reclaim my mandate in no distant time”.
He stated that power has
temporarily left the masses, stating that, “what is happening is an interim
setback, it will soon be over and power will once more return to the people.”
Nwosu also commended President
Muhammadu Buhari for presenting level playing ground for all political parties
during the elections.
