Confusion, fears and anxiety reigned supreme yesterday in the streets of Owerri, the Imo State capital as supporters of Governor Ikedi Ohakim of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and that of Rochas Okorocha of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) are claiming victory in the governorship poll of Tuesday.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which could not announce the final results of the governorship and state assembly elections in the state, called on all stakeholders to remain calm as the impasse would be resolved today.

The election was on Wednesday night declared inconclusive by the state returning officer, Prof. Enoch Akobundu, after declaring results for 23 out of 27 local government areas in the state.

Okorocha had already won 12 local government areas while the incumbent governor and candidate of the PDP trailed with victory in 11 local government areas.

A drama however ensued when the returning officer for Mbaitoli, Mr. Frank Mathias, after releasing results for the local government and giving copies to party agents appeared at the state collation centre to declare that he had no result.
