Imo Deputy Speaker Okey Onyekanma Congratulates Governor Ihedioha On His Victory At The Tribunal

The Deputy Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly Hon. Okey Onyekanma has congratulated the Governor of Imo State, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha on his victory at the Imo State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Abuja which declared Governor Ihedioha as the authentic winner of Imo gubernatorial poll. 

The Tribunal Saturday dismissed the petition filed against Ihedioha by three political parties – Action Alliance (AA), All Progressives Congress (APC) and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

The parties alongside their governorship candidates, Uche Nwosu, Hope Uzodinma and Ifeanyi Ararume had asked the tribunal to the nullify the election of Ihedioha on the ground that he was unlawfully declared as the governor of the state by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In a release by his Chief Press Secretary Aku Obidinma, Onyekanma described the judgment as justice served and a victory for democracy describing the tumultuous celebration heralding this judgment across the state as a sign that Governor Ihedioha and the P. D. P are the people's choice in Imo.

Onyekanma therefore enjoined Sen. Hope Uzodinma, Sen. Ifeanyi Ararume and Uche Nwosu to team up with the Governor to rebuild Imo.
