The APGA Chief Returning Officer of the APGA Deacon Samson Olalere said a total of 812 delegates were billed to participate in the election but 795 votes were accredited.
Obiano, who is the party’s BoT Chairman, in his speech, thanked the party delegates for peaceful conduct during the election, noting that Soludo would win the November 6 governorship in the state.
Soludo in his speech, described his emergence as divine, assuring that his administration would consolidate Obiano’s achievement to effect good governance in the state.

APGA had last week disqualified five aspirants of the party; Nze Akachukwu Nwankpo, Nonso Smart Okafor, Chukwuma Umeoji, Carter Dike Umeh, and Ozoka Odera Ifeanyi due to various reasons including insubordination to the party’s leadership, certificate mutilation, alteration of forms, among others.
