The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Akachukwu Nwankpo, has discosed that he voted for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship candidate, Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo, during Tuesday's supplementary election in Ihiala because his party did not have a chance at winning the poll.

Nwankpo, who was formerly a member of APGA, jumped ship after failing to win the party's ticket.

Speaking to journalists at Umuapani, Ihiala, Nwankpo said that after consultation with Ihiala youths, he was told to vote for APGA whose candidate had 90 per cent chances of winning the election, to avoid wasting more resources.

On whether the decision was a unanimous one by the party eadership, he said: "The move was personal to enable me key into the achievement of the APGA led- government of Governor Willie Obiano."

He hailed the security agencies for their commitment in ensuring a peaceful environment before and after the election.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC had on Saturday postponed and fixed a supplement election for November 9, 2021, following the no election status of the area as a result of INEC's staff members absence on election day.

Prof. Soludo eventually won the election with a landslide.
