Imo senator-elect finally gets certificate of return from INEC

The senator-elect North senatorial district has finally been presented with his certificate of return by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). INEC issued the certificate to Benjamin Uwajumogu on Thursday 25th July declaring him the winner of the election.

The certificate of return was presented to Uwajumogu at the headquarters of INEC in Abuja on Thursday. This is coming three days after the senator-elect led protesters to the electoral commission, protesting the non-issuance of a certificate to him despite a court order compelling INEC to do so.

Speaking with journalists after collecting his certificate, Uwajumogu commended the judiciary for “standing by truth.”

He promised to serve the people of Imo north better than he did in the previous senate.

Uwajumogu also commended his constituents for not taking laws into their hands during “their trying times.”
