Nigeria: Ojukwu's Son Set to Drag PDP, INEC to Tribunal

4 April 2015

Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Jnr. son of the late Ikemba Nnewi and Biafra warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu yesterday said that he has concluded arrangements to drag the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to the Election Petitions Tribunal in Anambra State to recover the mandate stolen from him during last Saturday's National Assembly election for Nnewi North/Nnewi South/Ekwusigo Federal Constituency in the State.

Ojukwu Jnr who was the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA for the election said he was surprised that rather than declaring himself winner of the election, INEC declared his PDP rival, Hon Chris Emeka Azubogu winner after some PDP bigwigs in the constituency stormed the collation centre at the INEC office at Ukpor, the Headquarters of Nnewi South Local Government Area with written results when collation was still ongoing, chased away INEC officials and ad-hoc staff, scattered already recorded INEC sensitive materials all over the premises and then conspired with INEC to declare Azubogu winner in such a commando style.
