The Henry Ikoh Governorship Campaign Organisation has rejected the result of the Abia APC governorship primary election held on Thursday.

PREMIUM TIMES earlier reported that the APC declared a renowned businessman, Eric Opah, as the winner of its governorship primary for the 2027 general elections.

The Returning Officer and Chairman of the APC Governorship Primary Election Committee, Bartho Nyelong, announced the result at the APC secretariat in Umuahia on Thursday night.

According to the result, Mr Opah polled 126,977 votes to defeat his closest rival, the former Minister of State for Science and Innovation, Mr Ikoh, who secured 5,905 votes.
