My people! My People!!...Our Governor! Our Governor!!...This seems to be the chants in Owerri and across Imo State now as incumbent Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has been declared winner of the governorship election.
Okorocha, the only incumbent governor on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the south-east, had a clear win over and above his main challenger the sitting Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
With results from 26 of the state’s 27 Local Government Areas collated, Mr. Okorocha has so far scored 371,206 votes while Mr. Ihedioha has 305,320 votes in the bag.
The APC candidates is ahead of Mr. Ihedioha by 66,086 votes.
The only outstanding LGA -Oru East- has 65,735 registered voters. So, even if all the voters there vote for Mr. Ihedioha, he still would not be able to catch up with Mr. Okorocha.
The Independent National Electoral Commission is expected to declare the governor winner in the next hour or so.
With his victory, the APC has succeeded in holding on to the only state it controls in Nigeria’s South-East geo-political zone. Three of the remaining states (Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi) in the region are controlled by the PDP while one Anambra has remained firmly in the grip of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for more than nine years.
