Nigerians from various backgrounds have berated the Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and the Nigerian Police over the arrest of Labour Party (LP) State Assembly candidate, Mr. Clinton Amadi.
Mr. Amadi was arrested at the INEC office where he went to demand the Certified True Copy (CTC) of election results.
News Band had reported on April 5th that the Imo State police command arrested Mr. Amadi on Monday at the state secretariat of INEC located at Port Harcourt Road in Owerri, the state capital.
A source said that the operatives of the Tiger Base of the police command arrested Amadi and he remained in police custody till Wednesday.
Taking to his Twitter handle, the House of Representatives, member-elect and Nigeria Opposition Coalition (CUPP) spokesperson, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere confirmed the development.
He reported that the Labour party candidate had the highest votes for Owerri Municipal State House of Assembly election but the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate was declared winner.
“Imagine, 12,000 votes were accredited with BVAS but 76,000 was given APC. He went for CTC in INEC and he was arrested. #Free Clinton Amadi,” he wrote.
Nigerians react
Only in Imo State @onlyinimostate
Hope Uzodimma ended up putting the APC house of Assembly members he rigged into office into problem. Let’s see how court won’t throw all of them out

Can someone tell me the difference between APC government and Military government???
KINGS MD @KINGSEUSTACE
APC is that Okada man, who took you through the road that leads to your house, your hope of getting home raised, he then made a sudden U turn, collected all your money and took you to the same place the military planned to drop you.
KINGS MD @KINGSEUSTACE
The new trend… Since BVAS would tell, prevent your opponent from accessing it; just keep shouting “Go to court…”
Constance Justice @Constan02592105
Both at the Fed and state levels, APC led Government is shouting at rooftops, accusing fellow contestants of Treason. Btw @PeterObi, @ClintonAmadi and other opposition party candidates, who actually committed Treason? U stole the people’s votes and turned round to call the victims names

But his lawyer should have done that even though it is within his exclusive right to also do that.

Imo LP needs someone strong. Hope is something else.
Kingsley @Okoyeak
How policemen have turned to a willing tools in the hands of the state governors is something we really need to look into, it is worrisome in Nigeria! How are they going to be operating when state police are created for them and given them absolute powers to control?
Chinonye @justchinonye
Labour party Senatorial Candidate for Imo west, Charles Ahize won the election but Osita Izunaso of APC was declared winner. PDP candidate for NNIN HOR seat Ugonna Ozurigbo @ugonnaozurigbo won his election with more than 10k votes diff. bt INEC has refusd to declare him d winner.
Let God’s will be done @Ilesanm50940083
Is that not what INEC created? Those state governors do take advice from INEC on what to do to cleanse their mess. That is why they resort to arresting other candidates that need CTC of INEC result. If not, there is no way APC would have known they are coming to collect CTC.
Kelechi c Okoro @keleokoro
This is exactly what would have happened in Abia if not for the Heroine of 2023 elections, Nnenna Oti. The truth remains that until the people refused to be swayed by a few crumbs,the Politicians are powerless even with all their stolen money. Compare Nnenna Oti with the Imo REC.

Police CPs are cashing out in various states to allow Politicians have their way. Imo has been in the news for months and nothing from the IGP.
Macdonald Eze @DjNazMd
We need you in LP senior brother, I see you as the next Governor from Orlu senatorial district, you have the capacity and we will stand by your side. We need a strong force to unseat Hope so that peace can return to that state again.
