The Peoples Democratic Party in Imo state on Monday expressed optimism that the Election Petitions Tribunal handling the outcome of the state’s governorship election would uphold the electoral victory of the state governor, Emeka Ihedioha.
This is coming after the petitioners on Sunday adopted the final addresses as the panel reserved date for judgment.
The PDP publicity secretary in the state,Damian Opara who spoke to our correspondent in Owerri said that the party was confident of victory.
The PDP spokesperson said that no Tribunal would cancel the peoples mandate.
Opara said ” we are confident of victory. We are very upbeat. No Tribunal will cancel the peoples victory. PDP clearly won the election. Emeka Ihedioha was and still the peoples choice.We won the election in almost the Local Government Areas in the state.”
“The petitioners should give peace a chance in Imo state. For us ,we believe that Imo should be allowed to move forward.This distraction is not worth it. Ihedioha will win again at the Tribunal.”
