GOVERNORSHIP candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in Delta State, Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi, FNIM, OON has rejected the Independent National Electoral Commission's March 18 Gubanitotial election result, says he is convinced that he won the election, and vows to challenge the results.

Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi, Former minister of state for education in a statement he signed, rejected the results of the exercise that declared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Rt. Hon. Francis Oborevwori was a winner of the Guber poll.
The industrialist said that he is convinced that he won the election and vowed to challenge the results of Saturday’s election as announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He explained that the rejection of the results was due to several reported cases of gross electoral malpractice and widespread electoral fraud by Governor Okowa's PDP.

He alleged that Labor Party (LP), All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA were sponsored by the ruling opposition party to perpetrate electoral fraud.

According to him; "This rejection is to show that the results declared by INEC are a total embarrassment to Deltans. The All Progressive Congress APC and of course the Gail of Labour Party and APGA are sponsored parties by the PDP.

"As a Candidate, I will seek redress in line with laid down rules. It is a shame that the collective will and aspirations of Deltans and Nigerians, in general, have been thwarted, but hope is alive.

"I urge my supporters across Delta state to be lawful as we go back to the only last hope, which is the hope of the common man, the Judiciary. I thank Deltans to be law-abiding", he said.
