A front line politician in Imo state and legal practitioner, chief Mike Ahamba (SAN) has raised eyebrows on the electoral fraud which took place during the guber/state Assembly elections held in Imo state recently.
Speaking in Owerri during an interactive session with Journalists over the weekend, Chief Ahamba expressed disappointment on APC as he declared that no good governor can rig election in a state where he claimed to be very popular.
Chief Ahamba who said he has been in active practice since 1979 regretted why people should choose to electoral fraud.
Speaking further, the legal expert asserted that no collation officer has the right to do the work of a tribunal adding that INEC did not live up to expectations. He therefore declared that the entire Imo Guber election should be nullified.
On the issues of supplementary election, he explained that both the PDP candidate chief Emeka Ihedioha and APC candidate Governor Rochas Okorocha still stand the chance of winning the Imo guber haven scored two third majorities in all the 27 local Government Areas of the state.
He revealed that the supplementary election will now be based on a simple majority adding that chief Ihedioha can still win if he scored the three quarter (31/4) of the votes casted in the up-coming election scheduled to take place this Saturday.
Chief Ahamba advised INEC to shine its eyes and use what happened in Oguta Assembly election 2011 as good example where INEC declared it inconclusive and went ahead to conduct fresh election.
He warned that the supremacy of the constitution should be adhered to adding that the full force of the law must fall on anybody who tries any thing against the rule of law.
