A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Ned Nwoko, has vowed to challenge the outcome of the party’s senatorial primary in court, insisting that he won the exercise based on results and evidence allegedly gathered from the wards.
Disclosing his in an interview with Arise TV, Nwoko, who rejected the declaration of former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as winner of the senatorial primary, alleged that the results announced did not reflect the actual votes cast during the exercise.
According to him, midway into the primary, party officials instructed that no results should be announced at the ward level, directing instead that they be collated and announced later at the national headquarters in Abuja.
“We have submitted them. Halfway through the primary, we got a message on our phones that no results should be announced at the ward level — that they should be collected and then announced later at the national in Abuja.
