Speaking at his campaign office in Umuahia, Otti said he was also
dissatisfied with how INEC Returning Officer in the state, Professor
Benjamin Ozumba was handling the issue.
He said: “If somebody claims that they were voted for and had about
82 ,000 votes, they should not be afraid, because the same people that
voted them will vote for them again if there is a re-run and they will
have the same number of votes or even more.”
The governorship hopeful, however, insisted on the use of card readers for the conduct of the re-run poll as mandated by INEC.
“I am very disappointed that the returning officer recanted his
ground, because a professor of medicine should stand his ground, he
should not be intimidated.
“I am also disappointed that he swallowed his words 45 minutes after making a pronouncement.
“But I am more disappointed that a sitting governor will go and
intimidate the collation officer in his state because of election
results .
“It is very disheartening that after mounting undue influence and
pressure on electoral officers, they came and reversed themselves
before international observers, media men and the world as a whole; they
don’t have the right,” he said
