The Peoples Democratic Party has described the state House of Assembly elections in Imo State as a sham, while vowing to challenge same at the tribunal.
The PDP National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, who instructed the PDP candidates to submit the required documents for legal battle within 72 hours, kicked against the results of the elections which took place on Saturday.
The secretary made this known while speaking to Journalists in Abuja on Monday, while rejecting the results in totality.
He noted that Imo was not a banana republic where the rights of Imo People would be thrown to the gutters and their votes would not count.
He explained that he had consulted with several senior lawyers over the “infractions that occurred in Imo in the name of elections” and vowed to explore all legal means available to the National Secretariat to recover the stolen mandate of his party.
"Imo is not a Banana Republic where the rights of Imo People will be thrown to the gutters and their votes will not count. We will not allow this impunity and rascality to stand. The exercise was marred with violence and complete voter disenfranchisement," he said.
"This matter will be taken to court and a strong legal team is being constituted to remedy this daylight robbery."
"All PDP candidates in Imo are hereby directed to submit all requisite documents/Petitions to FID ASIKA ILOBI and Co. Chambers in Owerri within 72 hours," he added.
Briefing journalists separately, the PDP candidates in Nwangele and Aboh Mbaise state constituencies, Solomon Ucheka and Princewill Amuchie, alleged that the All Progressives Congress candidates suppressed and intimidated the voters.
Ucheka said that in Nwangele Local Government Area, the APC candidate, Amara Iwuanyanwu, compromised the process.
The PDP candidate said that he won the lawful votes cast but the APC candidate in company of security agents allegedly snatched ballot boxes and rewrote the results.
