A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC in Imo State, and Commissioner for Transport, Prince Lasbery Okaforanyanwu has delivered the party in his LGA.
The results of the Presidential/National Assembly elections held on Saturday had shown that APC won landslide in Oru East, to defeat PDP and APGA parties.
The press crew that monitored the election observed the resilience in the face of the Commissioner, who vowed to deliver all the APC candidates across the ten INEC wards in Oru East.
While declaring the results, the collation officers for the LGA, Justice Ogbe and Franklyn Okorie announced that APGA got (403), PDP (6,407), AA (56), and APC polled (10,383) to defeat the other political parties in Oru East.
It is strongly believed that Okaforanyanwu, even though in support of other APC members have fulfilled their promises of raising the top bar of victory for the party.
While President Muhammadu Buhari is delivered in Oru East for Presidency, Governor Rochas Okorocha and Edwin Ihenacho won randomly for Senate and Federal House respectively.
It was also discovered that the election sensitization as organized by the Commissioner to his Oru East people during the campaign period may have been the reason for APC victory.
It was alleged that a top political contender from the area had bragged of ruining the chances of APC in the last Saturday’s election. Reason was to deliver the PDP candidates.
Fielding questions from a voter at Court hall polling unit 002 Omuma, Mrs Agnes Okoro, they decide to vote en masse for APC following the love and confidence they have for their son, Laz.
