George Onyejiuwa, Owerri

Osita Izunaso Senatorial Campaign Organisation has accused Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, of engaging the services of young Hausa men for the thumb-printing of ballot papers ahead of the rescheduled presidential and National Assembly of polls on Saturday.

Senator Osita Izunaso is the senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance  (APGA) for Imo West senatorial District.

The legal adviser to the APGA senatorial candidate, Prince Orji Nwafor- Orizu, who made the allegation, yesterday, at a press conference, in Owerri, said his client, being a law abiding citizen, has decided to alert the general public on the alleged ongoing thumb-printing of ballot papers, at the Spibat Residence of Governor Okorocha, who is also the senatorial candidate of the APC in the election.

Nwafor-Orizu also disclosed that the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of Imo State, the police and the Department of State Services (DSS) have all been notified of the incident.

“We have evidence from one of the security guards, who is an Hausa man, who has been away since last Saturday, and later called to tell his boss, who is a member of our  campaign team that they were at Spibat, where they have been paid to thumb-print ballot papers and that is still ongoing as we speak. We have already written to the security agencies and to Imo REC  on this matter.” 

However, Governor Okorocha has dismissed the allegation as frivolous and said Izunaso is not only a frustrated man, but one of the most unpopular and colourless politicians in the state.

 The governor’s media aide, Sam Onwuemeodo, in a statement, said: “Rochas Okorocha won elections in 2011 and 2015, respectively, through the ballot papers. Osita Izunaso is one of the most unpopular and colourless politicians in the State. And he is not an attractive politician to any voter in the State. Governor Okorocha has campaigned in the 12 local governments of Orlu zone. Ditto, in all the zones and the state in general for President Muhammadu Buhari and other candidates of APC, but Izunaso has never campaigned anywhere.”
