Okorocha also urged INEC to do the right thing by giving him the certificate of return as senator-elect for Imo west. He accused the electoral official who supervised the Imo west senatorial election of doing a hatchet job.
“Elections have come and gone and we are dealing with the outcome. For the Imo West senatorial election, somebody said that he declared the result under duress. The truth is that the gentleman was employed to do a hatchet job and he could not do that," he said.
“The drama is that he had another option he wanted to declare it in Owerri, at first he said there was no result and at a point he entered the toilet and suddenly he saw the results sheets and shouted who dropped this result here. What it means is that there is a game."
The governor denied allegations that was engaging in illegal withdrawal of funds and selling government property.
