According to him, with over 248,000 votes at stake in Ihiala and other places where election did not take place, the party still has hope of producing the next governor.
He appealed to the people of Ihiala and other areas to come out en mass to vote for PDP as better alternative in the state governance.
He regretted the impact of vote buying which he described as a major issue in the nation political development.
He added, “After Ihiala, others place where elections did not take place will follow, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC must obey the electoral law and conduct election where it did not hold.
“The party has all areas where election did not hold and will be happy if election are held there.”
On what his next move was, Ozigbo said the party was only more concerned with the supplementary election for now, and will decide on its next line of action after the completion.
