Anambra election: Soludo extends lead, claims Orumba North

The All Progressives Grand alliance, APGA, has been announced winner of Saturday’s governorship election in Orumba North.

There have been controversy about the result of the local government, after the collation officer, Dr Godwin Otu had alleged that his Electoral Officer connived with thugs to make him sign the result sheet for the election, under duress.

The returning officer, Prof Florence Obi had, however, constituted a panel, headed by Dr Otjong, chairman of Academic Staff Union of University in the University of Calabar to look into it.

During a resumed session, Dr Othong said, “After looking at the matter, we saw no evidence of use of BVAS, we also discovered police crisis at the local government collation centre, and heavy mutilation of the result sheet.
