Situation report in Aba North state house of Assembly. The good people of Aba North voted for me and my party APGA, we won our election in all the polling units in Aba North, collection of results stopped at 9pm on 9th/3/2019. Around 12.30pm on 10/3/2019 Mr Charles Esonu brought fake results from Ariaria with over 30 armed military personnel smuggled it in with the help of the military, he also paid INEC huge amount of money. Our supporters protested, some injured and has been taken to hospital. The REC called the EO to bring the result to Umuahia, we also followed them to INEC office Umuahia, when we got there the REC promised to look into it the following day, while we are going back to Aba they announced the result in favour of their preferred candidate. All our supporters should remain calm, we are going to apply legal means to recover our stolen mandate thank you.
