The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will appeal the judgment directing it to issue a Certificate of Return to former Governor of Imo, Rochas Okorocha inspite issuing the certificate to him.
INEC issued certificate of return to Okorocha around 6 p.m. on Tuesday as winner of Imo West Senatorial District election held Feb. 23.
Okorocha, who commended INEC for issuing him the certificate, said that he saw it as God’s time.
Okorocha commended the judiciary for doing the needful and for being there at the needed time as well as serve as the last resort for the common citizens or anybody that felt oppressed.
“I also want to thank INEC for taking this bold step against all odds by issuing my certificate of return, which goes a long way to confirming that the allegation of duress was unfounded by a delay tactic by my detractors to slow down the process.”
