The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) has finally issued a certificate of return to
Benjamin Uwajumogu, winner of the Imo north senatorial election.
The certificate of return was
presented to Uwajumogu at the headquarters of INEC in Abuja on Thursday.
The development comes three days
after the senator-elect led protesters to the electoral commission.
He had protested the non-issuance
of a certificate to him despite a court order compelling INEC to do so.
A federal high court in Abuja
gave the order after he challenged the action of INEC.
Speaking with journalists after
collecting his certificate, Uwajumogu commended the judiciary for “standing by
truth.”
He promised to serving the people
of Imo north better than he did in the in the previous senate.
Uwajumogu also commended his
constituents for not taking laws into their hands during “their trying times.”
