“I salute my other fellow candidates for their valiant efforts and the decorum during the campaigning. Thank you for given peace a chance in the State.

“Before now, I have expressed concerns about the contradicting variables that led to the electoral outcome. In that context, INEC needs to undertake an introspective reappraisal of its in-house processes, more so those relating to its ICT operations. Beyond these remarks, I have closed the chapter on this particular election. We must now move on and return to the task of promoting good governance and the wellbeing of Anambra people.

“I salute my wife and children, my personal and campaign staff, our National and State party leadership, especially the PDP governors for their support. God bless them all.

“I thank in a very special way former Gov Peter Obi and his dear wife Margaret Obi for their unfettered support. I also thank my running mate Lady Chidi Onyemelukwe and her husband Okey Onyemelukwe for their joint role, warmth and added value to our efforts.

“In conclusion, and on a sad note, I close by paying tribute to a father figure, my father’s friend, my mentor, and the father of my running mate, Dr Alex Ifeanyi Ekwueme, who passed last night. May his soul find eternal rest; and may his family, friends, and Nigeria find the fortitude to bear this huge loss.

“Thank you and God bless us. Bless Anambra and Bless Nigeria”, the statement added.
