Immediate past Governor of Imo
State, Rochas Okorocha, on Monday said that the Independent National Electoral
Commission had yet to issue him with a Certificate of Return as the Imo West
senator-elect despite a federal High Court’s judgment ordering the electoral
umpire to do so.
Okorocha in a statement issued in
Owerri, the state capital, by his media aide, Sam Onwuemedo, said that the
picture circulating online where Okorocha was holding a Certificate of return
was “fake”.
He said that Nigerians would be
duly informed when INEC issues him(Okorocha) his certificate of return.
The statement read partly, “The
attention of the former governor of lmo State,
His Excellency Owelle Rochas Okorocha has been drawn to fake photo news
showing where he is holding what appears like a
certificate purportedly issued to him by INEC.
“The photograph in question expectedly has
been trending on social media. And we have been receiving calls from
well-meaning Nigerians to that effect, either congratulating the former
governor or to confirm the authenticity of the photo news.
“The truth is that the photograph is fake and
didn’t emanate from us. On our side, we
don’t engage in awkward actions.
“When the former governor and the
senator-elect for lmo West senatorial District receives his certificate of
Return, we will duly inform the general public.
