The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Tuesday declared the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Enyinnaya Abaribe, the winner of Saturday’s senatorial election in Abia South District.

The Returning Officer for Abia South National Assembly elections, Georgina Ugwuanyi, announced this before party agents at the collation centre in Aba.

Mrs Ugwuanyi, a professor of Banking and Finance at the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, said she had to return to declare results for the election because she was asked by INEC office in Abuja to announce winners in the election.

Earlier, Mrs Ugwuanyi had told party agents that a substantial number of polling units, totaling about 108, had irregularities requiring a reschedule of the Abia South elections.

She said Mr Abaribe got the highest number of votes in the election, having scored 49,903 votes.


She further announced that the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Chinedu Onyeizu, scored 43,903, while Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of the Peoples Democratic Party scored 28,422 votes to come third.


The returning officer also announced the results of the Aba South and North Federal Constituency, with the LP candidate Emeka Nnamani polled 35,502 to clinch the seat.

She said that Alex Ikwecheghi of APGA polled 22,465 votes, while the incumbent Representative, Chimaobi Ebisike, of the PDP scored 13,388 votes.


Mrs Ugwuanyi, therefore, declared Mr Nnamani the winner of the House of Representatives election.

Ok

Abaribe sabi use their head wella for dat side.

G5 in the mud...mumu followers of Wike. They will all sink cos they failed to engage the electorates meaningfully, but kept globetrotting & rocking asoebi like people in a bridal train.

It remains Makinde

Makinde used his head aligning with Tinubu. If that will save him from drowning, we shall see.

Fake Lp won that election

That is very good. I am satisfied that the worst governor in the entire South East is not going to the senate.
I just pray that the same thing happens to T.A Orji and Orji Uzor Kalu.
Abaribe just had a narrow escape.

Governor Ikpeazu is a calamity to Ndi Abia. We sane Igbos are happy that Ikpeazu failed woefully.

One thing with we Igbos is that we don't support incompetent people, that's how we rejected Buhari twice because of his incompetency.

Buhari is a calamity to Nigeria of today. He does not even know his left talkless of his right, just like his carbon copy in Abia State that calls himself Governor.

Nnamdi Cownu surety
Amadioha strike dem both for all the innocent igbo lives they took.
Animals and terrorists.

Ok

Okay

Great

This Kerosene mugu jumping up and down shouting kota sign, kota sign and refused to work for Abians...

Jumping up and down with Wike...serves him righ.


Congrats to Mma Agha Ndi Igbo. Who stood for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, loosing Abaribe in the senate would have pained me personally.

This governor too like food

Green

right now all nigerians are waiting for is to hear how to resolve this peter obi matter. because this INEC is definitely compromised

A

It must surely turn back....

Wahala nothey finish

Okay

Dem dey knack G5 wotowoto
First was Ugwuanyi, then Ortom, and now Ikpeazu
Who's next 🤔

Verily, everything wey get beginning must get ending. Too bad!

.

What is the kerosene governor looking for in the senate?

SENATE is taken from the greek word Senex, which means wise elderly men.

Does Ikpeazu fit a wise elderly man?

Good News
