Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to prosecute all those arrested for electoral offences.

He said the prosecution of the offenders would further enhance the credibilty of INEC and future election.

He spoke in Owerri Thursday, after he received his certificate of return from INEC. Twenty seven members elect of the State House of Assembly were also presented with certificates by Mrs Gladys Nwafor, INEC National Commissioner representing Imo, Anambra and Ebonyi states.

In her remark at the occasion, Nwafor urged the successful politicians to keep their promises to the electorate.

She said that with the reform being undertaken by the commission, those who fail to deliver would find it difficult to win elections in the future.

She said the commission was happy to conclude the Imo elections after the re-run exercise, adding that Imo was one of the flash points where the commission had expressed fears of possible violence.

The commissioner urged the governor to deliver on his promises to carry everybody along. She said the commission would ensure that future elections in the country were better than the 2015 polls.

Okorocha had also used the occasion to commend Imo people for their support and assured them that he would do his best to deliver quality service to the state.
