The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) on Monday called for the cancellation
of the Imo state governorship election, citing
massive electoral irregularities.
Addressing news men, the National Publicity
Secretary, Olisa Metuh, said that it has become
imperative to cancel the governorship election in
Imo state because of the massive incidence of
irregularities that marred the elections in the state.
He said that the PDP is demanding for the
immediate cancellation and conduct a fresh poll
that would reflect the will of the people.
Metuh said that Nigeria's 16 years of democracy
must be sustained and the ominous signs the
opposition party is advancing was not in the
interest of the hard earned democracy.
According to the PDP spokesman "We demand the
immediate halt to the announcement in Imo,
cancellation of the elections and ordering of fresh
elections in Imo.
"Our reasons are as follows: In Oru East LG the
electoral officers and other officials of INEC have
confessed that indeed the APC forced them at
gunpoint to re-write the result of the LG.
"In a democracy where they are claiming change,
in Ezinifite, fake policemen were arrested and the
CP of Imo state is aware of this. The fake
policemen have already confessed that they are
working for the APC.
"Ideato North and South, there was massive
violence, swapping of ballot papers and snatching
ballots in Ideato North Oru and other places. There
were no elections in Ideato south, but figures
were awarded.
"Our question is this: Having sustained democracy
in 16 years, are we going to witness erosion of the
fundamentals of the principles of democracy in
Nigeria under this new government? What we are
seeing is ominous times.
"People of Imo have trooped out in the street
demanding the correct result. If INEC cannot
produce what they have voted for, then INEC
should order new elections.
"We in the PDP, we are willing and able to assist in
ensuring that INEC in the next one week or two
weeks, once they order for fresh elections in Imo
state, whatever cost it is, let the citizens bear it as
long as genuine and true democracy is enthroned.
We want fresh elections in Imo state. Let the will of
the people be enthroned."

as rugged as A/ibom n Rivers they , opposition has moved on they are here ranting n raving ...

Olisa metuh himself knows that IMO is already in the hands of APC and there is nothing he/PDP can do about that. If Jega refused to cancel Rivers, then IMO will Nv be cancelled by him.

Eyah, both parties rigged so they should move on!

I thought some 'wisemen' said PDP are graceful losers??

What are they complaining about here? with all the people massacred in Rivers and Akwa Ibom, it's Imo he's shouting about?

Meanwhile the Cross River APC Guber candidate congratulated his PDP counterpart for those who have selective hearing and reading

What ever clandestine meeting SOME idiots from surrounding states in Ala Igbo is having in Owerri and Enugu against my state and her Gov'nor must come to nothing. Nobody should try the resolve of Imolites! Nobody should carry their lunacy into Imo State! Nobody should take our brotherly disposition to be cowardice! Nobody should push Us to the wall! Nobody should hurt our pride or tamper with our ego! Nobody should even attempt to thwart our decision all cos of hate and politics! WE are watching and have our ears to the ground. Owelle We Know!
