OWERRI-The controversy trailing the alleged inconclusive gubernatorial poll in Imo State has taken a new dimension as the leadership of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has said it would not participate in the supplementary poll, if the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Professor Selina Okoh, was not removed immediately.<\/p>\n

Addressing newsmen in Owerri, APGA governorship candidate, Chief Rochas Okorocha, said the same thing will apply if staff of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, FUTO, were not removed from the ad-hoc list of INEC.<\/p>\n

Okorocha also said that his party would not support the engagement of Mr. Austin Okogie as Imo REC \u201cbecause of the party\u2019s experience with him in 2007 governorship election in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

He described the supplementary governorship election in Imo State as not only a new political terminology and outside the constitutional provision, but also coined to favour a particular contestant.<\/p>\n

\u201cAPGA feels that it does not represent fairness, equity and justice. We, therefore, call on INEC to reconsider its present position.<\/p>\n

\u201cAPGA has assembled a team of seasoned lawyers to advise the party on the development,\u201d Okorocha said.<\/p>\n

The APGA gubernatorial candidate used the opportunity to raise alarm that some chieftains of the party had been penciled down for arrest, pointing out that Chief Martin Agbaso, Chief Patrick Onuoha, Professor Tony Anwuka and one Chef Okoro had been listed for arrest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
