The Spokesperson for Peter Obi of the Labour Party
Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo, has reacted to the Party’s
defeat in the Enugu State Governorship election to Peter Mbah of the Peoples
Democratic Party.
In a series of Tweets on his official Twitter handle on
Wednesday night, Okonkwo lamented that his Party’s mandate had been stolen just
as it happened in the Presidential election.
He, however, said Edeoga would reclaim his victory through
the court.
“Cowards die many times before their death – Julius Caesar.
Abia’s Returning Officer refused to be intimidated and refused to announce the
rigged result. At the same time, Enugu Returning Officer confessed that he was
given a figure to announce by the corrupt Abuja INEC officials, and he
‘moomooishly’ announced what was given to him, which was supposed to be a
Professor and somebody’s father.
“God forbid!! God save our country. They stole our
presidential mandate, and now they stole our gubernatorial mandate. By the
grace of God, we will recover all.
“I have received assurances from Chijioke Edeoga that he
will reclaim his mandate. Evil will never triumph over good. Congratulations to
the Obidients for winning Enugu State. INEC is already known as a rotten organisation
worldwide with a rotten head. Their declaration is as useless as the
organisation under Mahmood. In God we trust”, he posted.
The Independent National Electoral Commission’s Returning
Officer for Enugu State, Prof. Maduebibis Iwe said PDP’s Mbah polled 160,895
votes to narrowly defeat his closest rival, LP’s Chijioke Edeoga who polled 157
552.
The declaration of the Enugu State guber result made it the
26th Governors-elect announced by INEC, pending the completion of the Adamawa
and Kebbi states inconclusive elections.
