The
House of Rep-elect member for Okigwe south (Ehime, Mbano/Ihitte, Uboma/Obowo)
federal constituency seat, Hon. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba has lauded the INEC and
judiciary for retrieving his mandate.
Nwajiuba
said this when he was receiving his certificate of return from INEC.
Explaining how tough the contest was, Hon. Nwajiuba said even though his
election was conducted on the 23rd of February, with a rerun-on the 9th of March
and final collation on the 23rd of March it has taken this long for him to
collect his certificate of return due to an earlier mistake by INEC in giving
the certificate of return to a person who was adjudged by law as not being a
candidate in the 2019 general election.
Emeka
Nwajiuba who contested the election on the platform of Accord Party (AP)
thanked the party for their support during the election. Hon. Nwajiuba also
thanked APC members in the South East, especially in Okigwe South for their
support even when he had to contest the election on the platform of Accord
party due to the intractable crisis in the party.
He
explained that he did so because he believes that he has the experience and
knowledge to bring great dividends of democracy to the people of the federal
constituency and that throughout he has remained steadfast in his support for
the reelection of Mr. President and next level agenda of APC.
Hon.
Nwajiuba called on the national leadership of APC to consider the South East in
the zoning of principal offices especially the Speakership position considering
that APC has made great progress in 2019 than in 2015 and that zoning such a
position to it will lead to national stability, inclusiveness and consolidation
of the APC in the South East.
