Objections

However, this is still under contention, as the member representing Oredo Federal Constuency in the House of Representatives, Ogbeide Ihama, who is the PDP agent, has raised an objection to the results.

He said there were cases of over voting and ballot box snatching in some places, but the results were not cancelled as done in other areas.

He called on INEC to do something about it just as it has done in other areas where similar incidents had occurred.
