Imo State governor Hope Uzodinma

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) on Thursday tendered, before the governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja, certified true copies (CTCs) of the statement of result and certificate belonging to Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma.

The council took action in response to a subpoena issued on it by the tribunal to produce and tender the documents on behalf of Governor Uzodimma

The documents were produced before the tribunal by the Head of Administration at WAEC Headquarters, Mr. Omifenwa Tajudeen Tunbosu.

The first of the two documents produced by Tunbosu was a CTC of Uzodinma Goodhope Odidika’s West African Examinations Council General Certificate of Education, with certificate No. SG 904497 of June 1982.

The second was a CTC ofUzodinma Goodhope Odidika’s confirmation of the statement of result dated December 18, 2014, earlier forwarded by WAEC to the office of the Senate President and delivered on January 7, 2015.

Tunbosu also testified before the tribunal that Governor Hope Uzodimma is the owner of the WAEC certificate and confirmed it to be authentic and genuine.

The documents were subsequently tendered and admitted in evidence by the tribunal headed by Justice Oluyemi Akintan-Osadebay.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate in the last governorship election in Imo State, Samuel Anyanwu, are challenging Uzodimma’s victory in the election.

One of the grounds on which the PDP and Anyanwu are challenging the election is non-qualification.
