The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports the All Progressives Congress (APC) did not field candidates in the Governorship and House of Assembly elections due to a court order that cancelled its primary.
But a faction of the APC, led by Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, urged party supporters to vote Biokpomabo in the governorship election.
Mr Solomon Eke, Chairman, Obio/Akpor Local Government Council, commended peaceful conduct of voters during the governorship and assembly elections in Woji Ward 6.
