He noted that the electoral umpire has connived with APGA and Willie Obiano, the incumbent governor to rig and manipulate the election results.

He alleged that APC won in all the local government areas where voting has taken place, but INEC officials turned the result in APGA’s favour.

“We virtually won in all the local governments, but Willie Obiano and Charles Soludo, through the instrumentality, corrupt-minded INEC officers, subverted the whole process in favour of APGA.”
