The Governorship candidate of the Labour Party in the just concluded Imo state Governorship election, ATHAN ACHONU has accused security operatives of colluding with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to manipulate the result in the state.

Addressing newsmen in his country home in Ehime Mbano local government area of Imo state, the 64-year-old alleged his party supporters and voters were intimidated and harassed during the election as the outcome of the election doesn’t reflect what truly transpired at the polling units.

He argued that the Returning officer should have stopped collation following a petition by the Labour Party agent that the results at the polling units uploaded to the IREV didn’t correspond with what the collation officers presented at the state collation centre. 

ACHONU promised to challenge the outcome of the election in court.
