Kenneth Okonkwo, a Nollywood actor and member of the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential campaign council, has slammed the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, over the outcome of the Enugu State gubernatorial election.

WITHIN NIGERIA reported that INEC declared the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State, Peter Mbah as the winner.

Mbah received 160,895 votes, defeating Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate Chijioke Edeoga, who received 157,552 votes.

Kenneth responded by claiming that the Enugu Returning Officer admitted that INEC officials in Abuja gave him the figure to announce.

He stated that the governorship election outcome is the same as the stolen presidential election mandate and that Chijioke Edeoga will undoubtedly reclaim his mandate.

He went on to say that Peter Mbah’s declaration is as “useless” as the organization led by INEC’s chairman.

In his words:

Abia Returning Officer rejected to be intimidated and refused to announce rigged result, while Enugu Returning Officer confessed that he was given a figure to announce by the corrupt Abuja INEC officials and he moomooishly announced what was given to him, and this is supposed to be a Professor and somebody’s father. God forbid!!

God save our country. They stole our presidential mandate and now they stole our gubernatorial mandate. By the grace of God, we will recover all. I have received assurances from Chijioke Edeoga that he will reclaim his mandate.

Evil will never triumph over good. Congratulations to the Obidients for winning Enugu State. INEC is already known as a rotten organisation worldwide with a rotten head. Their declaration is as useless as the organisation under Mahmood.”
