The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State has vowed to reclaim its mandate allegedly stolen by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 18, 2023 governorship and state assembly election in the state.
It said that the election was marred with violence, killings, electoral manipulations, intimidations and discretion of electoral rules.
The Ebonyi State acting chairman of PDP, Ifeanyi Nworie, disclosed these in Abakaliki, the state capital, on Thursday, stressing that the declared result by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was not acceptable to the party.

Nworie also lamented the “spurious manufacturing of election results,” which upturned the victory of Dr Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii.
He said that Odii was duly elected by majority of the votes cast.
“`Gentlemen of the press, it is obvious that what happened on 18th was a melodramatic replay of what happened during the Presidential /National Assembly Election of 25th February, 2023.
“We wish to hereby state categorically and unequivocally that the APC perfected a pre-determined charade in collaboration with INEC announced concocted results, which were absolutely condemnable and unacceptable to us. INEC never acquitted itself creditably with patriotism and the high sense of responsibility expected of it,” he stated.
