PDP chieftains have declared that the re-run election for the guber seat in Imo State which is scheduled to hold next week Saturday in 23 Local Government Areas will favour Chief Emeka Ihedioha, their party’s flag bearer.
Speaking to Trumpeta reporter at PDP secretariat located along Okigwe road Owerri, the party leaders hinted that it is not yet Uhuru for APC. They advised Governor Rochas Okorocha, the APC guber candidate in Imo state not to rejoice with his group until it is finally over.
PDP publicity secretary, South East, Chief Olisa Metu in his own speech admitted that APC actually rigged the election in some places. He maintained that history will not repeat itself in the upcoming re-run election that will take place in 250 polling booths within 23 local government areas.
According to him, Imo is a PDP state and its citizens will vote for Emeka Ihedioha who he said will bring true transformation. Chief Metu urged Imolites to shun all forms of electoral malpractices and violence.
Meanwhile, Owelle Rochas Okorocha and his group have urged the PDP guber candidate, Chief Emeka Ihedioha to concede defeat the way President Jonathan did when Buhari defeated him in the last Presidential election.
According to Okorocha, INEC has played itself into a tight corner and is now finding it difficult on how to declare the winner of the guber election.
“I will win Ihedioha any time, any day” Okorocha boosted.
Ihedioha’s camp has re-organized ahead of the re-run election. It would be recalled that Okorocha’s victory in 2011 was actualized through such re-run election in few local government areas of Imo state.
