The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has
said nothing will come out of the petition
challenging his victory in the April 11, 2015
governorship election in the state.

The governorship candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party in Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha,
had gone before the governorship Election
Petitions Tribunal seeking nullification of
Okorocha’s victory.

The PDP candidate had complained that the
election was marred by “violence, intimidation,
widespread malpractices and partisanship on the
part of the Independent National Electoral
Commission.”

But Okorocha in a statement on Wednesday by his
Special Senior Adviser on Media, Sam
Onwuemeodo, said Ihedioha’s trip to the tribunal
would end up in futility.

Onwuemeodo, who said the governor was
prepared to oppose Ihedioha’s claims at the
tribunal, said the evidence at the governor’s
disposal would reveal that Ihedioha was the brain
behind the malpractices that he had alleged.

Okorocha described Ihedioha’s move as a mere
ploy to prevent the remaining members of the PDP
in Imo State from defecting to the All Progressives
Congress.

The statement read in part, “Although, Ihedioha’s
journey to the tribunal against Governor Okorocha
will end up being an exercise in futility, it will help
to let the world know who imported violence and
intimidation into the 2015 governorship election in
the state when the exhibits will be tendered.

“It will also reveal who benefitted from his claimed
partisanship of the state INEC and who actually
was the brain behind the invidious malpractice in
some Local Government Areas like Aboh Mbaise,
Ahiazu Mbaise and Ezinihitte Mbaise.”

While urging Ihedioha not to work himself up on the
fate of the PDP in the state, Okorocha added, “We
also have our firm belief that Ihedioha didn’t go to
the tribunal on the grounds that Governor
Okorocha did not win his election resoundingly and
convincingly too, considering the spread he had
and his enviable popularity among the Imo
Populace, or that Governor Okorocha would not
have even beaten him in his ward, Mbutu or in
Mbaise ,where he comes from if ballot boxes were
not snatched and figures falsified, but Hon.
Ihedioha wants to use the tribunal matter to keep
the hope of the remaining members of the PDP in
the state alive and to prevent them from defecting
to the APC as it is the case at the moment.”
