Former Governor of Imo state; Rochas Okorocha has been sworn in as Senator. The process was completed on Thursday morning. During the 9th Senate Inauguration, Rochas was excluded as he wasn’t given a certificate by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after it was alleged that the issuing officer declared the result under duress after the February 23 senatorial elections.
Despite a court order directing the commission to do so, the certificate was being withheld and was only released to Rochas Okorocha on Tuesday, adding that the commission would appeal the court ruling.
