Jones Onyereri, candidate for the Imo West Senatorial District of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed optimism of reclaiming his alleged stolen mandate from the state Governor, Rochas Okorocha.
Onyereri expressed hope that he would reclaim his mandate from Okorocha at the tribunal because the governor rigged his way into the Senate.
Okorocha, who is the incumbent governor of the state contested the Senatorial seat and was declared the winner of the poll by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
In a statement he signed, the PDP senatorial candidate insisted that he won the election.
The statement reads: ”It is a sheer distraction from the burning issue of his massive rigging during last Saturday’s poll in Imo-West Senatorial District.
“I challenge the governor for a free-and-fair election in Imo-West where independent election monitoring observers will keep the records.
“My wealth of experience, leadership sagacity and social values have become the template for aspiring federal lawmakers in Nigeria. With over ten bills and 12 sponsored motions to my credit, how would any sane and rational informed person adjudge sterling performance in legislative business? I will reclaim my stolen mandate from the governor through the tribunal.”
