Olorogun O’tega Emerhor was leading with more
than 99 percent of the votes cast at Thursday’s
governorship primaries of the All Progressive
Congress in Delta State.
The exercise was initially delayed by supporters
of Mr. Okenmor Tilije, the only opponent of
Emerhor, who protested official arrangements for
the congress that took place at the Oshimili
North Arcade, Asaba.
Tilije eventually walked out with his supporters
before voting commenced. The initial confusion
and rowdiness eventually gave way as counting
of votes went on.
Official declaration of the winner was still
awaited at the time of filing this report.
