Imo Rescue Mission Campaign Organisation, Mr. Iheukwumere Alaribe, has
called on the Independent National Electoral Commission Chairman,
Prof. Attahiru Jega, to immediately redeploy the state Resident
Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Gabriel Ada.
The call was made over an alleged gross conspiracy with the Peoples
Democratic Party to rig the Saturday, April 11, 2015 governorship
election.
Speaking to journalists at the Rochas Campaign Office, Okigwe Road,
Owerri, Alaribe expressed the party's readiness in taking full part in
the stipulated Imo governorship re-run election according to INEC
regulation.
He boasted that APC would win the election even when conducted over 20 times.
"No amount of rigging by the opposition party will change the mind and
vote of the masses, who have avid love for Rochas Okorocha," he said.
The DG, however, disclosed that before the Saturday, April 11, 2015
election, APC had written to Imo REC in order to ascertain the exact
number of Permanent Voter Cards distributed in the affected 250
polling units for the election, but got no response.
Alaribe said, "Instead, the REC decided to falsify figures against APC
so as to favour PDP. Again, instead of him to work in tandem with his
Electoral Officers, he went contrary to mark out areas where there was
free and fair exercise with reference to Ezinihitte Mbaise, Mbaitoli
and Oru East Local Government Areas, where the EOs never made any
remark of violence or to have fresh election just because APC was
leading in the area."
