Scores of All Progressives Congress (APC) party supporters have taken over the
streets of Owerri, to celebrate what some of them called, “the hard won election victory”.
Immediately the State Returning Officer, SRO, and Vice Chancellor, Federal University Ndufu Alike, Ikwo, Ebonyi State, Professor Oyewusi Ibidapo-Obe, said that Okorocha polled a total of 416,996 votes to defeat his closest Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, rival and Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, who scored 320,705 votes, the supporters went into wild jubilation.
Similarly, the Government House, Owerri, has become a Mecca of sorts, as scores of friends, relations, government appointees and party loyalists continue to stream in and out of the premises.
