Alex Otti of the Labour Party (LP) has won 10 of the 17 local government areas (LGAs) in the March 18 Governorship election in Abia State.
Gatekeepers News reports that INEC’s Returning Officer in the state, Prof Nnenna Nnannaya-Oti is expected to announce the winner of the keenly contested poll any moment from now.
Okey Ahiwe of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) followed with six local government areas while Enyinnaya Nwafor of the Young Peoples Party (YPP) clinched one LGA.
This is as the final collation of governorship election results resumed on Wednesday afternoon in Umuahia, the Abia State over 48 hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) suspended the exercise in the South-East state.
Nnannaya-Oti said she will do the right of the people and protect democratic values.
“I shall stand squarely and unapologetically on these principles. The people’s votes and mandate shall stand.
“The pastor and the mother in me will not permit me to do anything that will adversely affect the future of our children,” said Nnannaya-Oti, who is the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri.
