INEC Returning Officer, Professor Benjamin Ozumba, declared that Ikpeazu won the election by polling 261, 127 votes to defeat his closest rival and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Uche Ogah, who scored 99, 574 votes in the poll.
In a video in circulation on social media, the Governor was seen among his group of friends and well wishers dancing to his victory at the gubernatorial election.

Ogah’s rejection of the result was contained in a statement by his campaign manager, Mr Kelechi Ugwuaja.
Ugwuaja claimed that the election was marred with irregularities by INEC staff and officials of the PDP.
“INEC and security agents moved against our party. Our candidate was winning everywhere until INEC and security agents moved in and took away electoral materials to rewrite the result of the election.
“We cannot accept what is going on in the state. If nothing is done to stop the process, we will make this state ungovernable,” added Ogah’s campaign manager.
