Okorocha, 27 Imo Assembly Members Elect Get INEC Certificates Of Return

Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo and 27 members-elect for the State House
of Assembly were on Thursday presented with their Certificates of
Return by INEC.

Mrs Gladys Nwafor, INEC National Commissioner representing Imo,
Anambra and Ebonyi states presented the certificates to the
recipients.

In her remark at the occasion, Nwafor urged the successful politicians
to keep their promises to the electorate.

She said that with the reform being undertaken by the commission,
those who fail to deliver would find it difficult to win elections in
the future.

She said the commission was happy to conclude the Imo elections after
the re-run exercise, adding that Imo was one of the flash points where
the commission had expressed fears of possible violence.

The commissioner urged the governor to ensure he deliver on his
promises to carry everybody along.

She said the commission would ensure that future elections in the
country were better than the 2015 polls.

Responding on behalf of the other recipients, Okorocha thanked INEC
for concluding the Imo elections and declaring him winner.

He urged the commission to ensure that those apprehended for electoral
offences were brought to justice to enhance the credibility of future
elections to be conducted by INEC.

Okorocha used the occasion to commend Imo people for their support and
assured them that he would do his best to deliver quality service to
the state.
