The Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has declared that no election in Nigeria has ever been free and fair without the support of the political elite, security agencies and money bags.
He made the statement in Owerri, the Imo State capital during the Freedom Day celebration at Heroes Square which was made available to journalists.
Governor Okorocha while speaking at the event said his electoral victory had nothing to do with what he described as 'godfatherism' while calling attention to plots by powerful elements in the state to stop him in 2011.
The peoples' will he said eventually triumphed.
According to him, “And that when he came to run election for the governorship of the state in 2011, he was “literally rejected by ‘who is who’ in the political equation of the state.
“No single politician of note was standing with me. This was perhaps the only election in the history of Nigeria that was won by the support of the ordinary people and not by the support of the political elite, security agencies and money bags.
“That is my journey and that is my story. And those of you who had followed me could recall that in the political history of Nigeria, there had been nothing like supplementary election till my own election.
“My understanding of supplementary election is to do all things possible to prevent Rochas from becoming the governor of Imo State. This is the meaning of supplementary election which today is holding Nigeria in political bondage.''
