Imo Gov Election: Uche Nwosu Blows Hot, Vows To Recover His ”Stolen Mandate”

The governorship candidate of the Action Alliance in Imo state and
son in-law of incumbent governor, Rochas Okorocha, Uche Nwosu, has
rejected the results of the Imo Governorship elections and has vowed to
challenge it in court.

Speaking to Channels TV this morning, Nwosu
who lost the election to PDP’s Emeka Ihedioha, said he will be heading
to court to recover his stolen mandate.

”I will take my
mandate back. The law is clear on the requirements for declaring
somebody as a winner in an election. The law required that to be
declared a winner, you have the mandatory spread of 25 per cent win in
at least two-thirds majority. In this case, two-thirds of the 27 local
government areas of the state is 18 and Ihedioha has 25 per cent spread
in only 12 local government areas whereas I have in 15. So it’s clear
that INEC has compromised.

It is the federal
constitution. It is not an Uche Nwosu constitution neither is it an
Action Alliance Constitution. It is very clear in the constitution in
article 179 that you cannot be declared winner unless you meet up the
criteria. You (Ihedioha) have not met the criteria and you are being
declared winner? Under whose authority? We believe in Nigerian judiciary
that justice will take place but what I have to state is that the
mandate of Action Alliance in Imo has been robbed”
he said
