Following the conclusion of collation of result which puts APC candidate and incumbent governor Hope Uzodinma in an unassailable lead, Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party have called for the cancellation of the governorship election.
The deputy governorship candidate of the LP, Tony Nwulu, said in a press conference on Saturday night that security agents allegedly provided cover for some persons as they subverted the will of the people.
He declared that the LP won with the actual votes cast in the election, saying that “democracy is under threat in this state.”
Nwulu said, “There was no election in Imo State on Saturday. What happened was the diversion of the electoral materials to the homes of people and the LGA council headquarters. In all this, the police, Army and the DSS provided security to the actors.
They came with huge sums of money to the polling units for votes buying but the Imo people rejected them. They now resorted to snatching of electoral materials, diversion of the electoral materials to homes of individuals and to the LGA headquarters where they rewrote the results.
“We have all the records. We are putting Nigerians on notice that there was no election in Imo State on Saturday.
“The position of our party and my principal, Senator Athan Achonu, who is the governorship candidate of the party is that this sham called election be cancelled..”
