This is even as the former Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Dr. Uche Ogah, the Director-General of National Agricultural Land Development Authority, Paul Ikonne, and other aspirants have rejected the outcome of the election, saying the national leadership of the party approved a direct mode of primary and not indirect.

Speaking with ABN TV on Thursday, Ogah listed Benue, Osun, and Abia as states approved for direct primary for governorship.

He said the primary election which produced Ikechi Emenike is invalid and will not be accepted.

According to Ogah, the direct primary election approved by APC will hold as scheduled.

At the primary that produced Chief Ikechi Emenike, Ogah got 6, Chief Dan Okeke 16, Dr. Alex Otti 14, Obinna Oriaku 12, and Paul Ikonne 22.

Chief Emenike was declared winner by the Chairman Guber committee Tony Obiefuna.

In his acceptance speech, he said, "There are alot of external forces that are against the outcome of today's success and this external forces are responsible for the decay and losing we have in Abia state our mission is simple and straightforward, first to rescue Abia State then to develop this State, I can assure you nothing will deter us because you know, they can ancor on powers and principalities but we trust in the Almighty God and it's that God that has brought us this far.

"I assure our party faithful we will not let them down, this victory we must win. They said we cannot win let's go and prove to them that we can and that it's almighty God through us Abia will be saved."

Earlier, former CEO of the defunct Diamond Bank, Dr. Alex Otti had withdrawn from the primary election, citing imposition of candidates.

About 920 were accredited to participate in the election.

Ok next time

But I read in the news that Direct method of primary was approved by the NWC. How did the indirect method that brought Chief Emenike come about??

Oga! You will still lose, yebooos are addicted to PDP suffering

Forget it positive change is far from Abia state

Noted.

Abia APC that should have taken advantage of Ikpeazu's eight years of maladministration is busy fighting useless wars. Well, they were not any better in the first place.

Ehyaa Ogah..

Do you want tissue for your tears?

Akuko ndi mgbu, Emenike is the winner and Ogah with his follow losers should stop akuko Mama Nkechi na ndi yard ha.

Anyone but PDP to deliver abia from the clutch of the orjis
Abia have suffered in the hand of PDP ...
I don't mind APC apga, or any party apart from PDP.
Hope he is not uzo kalu's candidate.

It getting hot already
