According to him, “Chief Emmanuel Nwangele won the chairmanship position for Abakaliki LGA, Mrs Obiageri Oko-Enyim-Afikpo North, Chief Eni Uduma-Afikpo South and Mrs Chinyere Nwogbaga-Ebonyi LGA.

“Chief Paul Nwogha won the chairmanship position for Izzi LGA, Mrs Chinyere Iyioku-Ohaozara LGA, Clement Odah-Ohaukwu LGA and Mr Felix Igboke-Onicha LGA.
“I particularly thank the state government for not interfering in the conduct of the elections as this helped in making it credible, free and fair.
“The election has been won and lost, but the victory is for everybody who participated at the elections.
“The winners should carry everybody along and everyone should contribute in delivering democratic dividends to people at the grassroots, which the local government areas represent,” he said.
