“The argument about who has the responsibility to announce result is clearly myopic and casuistic. Only four years ago, the same Governor Hope Uzodinma played exactly the same role in 2019, and no one raised any question.

“The National Headquarters of the party will not accept any result announced by anyone not designated to do so. Edo State APC Governorship primary election result has been received and accepted by the National Headquarters. It is a settled matter.” Osifo said.
