Independent National Electoral Commission,
announcing collated results across the state, said
APC won 13 of the state’s 18 local government

Nigeria, candidate of the All Progressives Congress

Igueben LGA, Egor LGA, Owan West LGA.
The PDP won in Esan North Central, Esan West
LGA, Orhionmwon LGA, Esan South East LGA, Esan
North East LGA.
Meanwhile, Ize Iyamu has rejected the results,
calling it 'pre-dertermined' and manipulated.
He said:
“The Figures announced by INEC do not represent
the massive turnout. We have told our agents to
bring all the results issued at the polling units. We
do not want to rely on the messages they sent.
“In the next three or four days, we will have
complete record. From findings, it is clear a lot of
manipulation has taken place.”
