Imo Monarchs Back INEC’s Move to appeal Court’s judgment Affirming Senator Rochas Okorocha’s Victory

The Imo State Monarchs have backed the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s, move to appeal the Federal High Court judgment, in Abuja, that ordered Senator Rochas Okorocha to be issued with the certificate of return for Imo West Senatorial District. The Monarchs led by Eze Cletus Ilomuanya, in Owerri, speaking through his Media Consultant, Mr. Kennedy Eweama, stated that the Royal fathers had it as their duty to speak out the truth and at the same time condemn evil in the land.

The Royal fathers noted that INEC’s move would restore the image of the Commission as an unbiased umpire in the election. According to them, Traditional Rulers in Igbo land under the auspices of Igbo Traditional Rulers Forum, had approved the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to pursue to a logical conclusion, its appeal against the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja, which acquitted former Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, of allegations of obtaining his senatorial election victory through coercion.
