The Independent National Electoral Commission declared the APC candidate, Usman Ododo, winner of the November 11 governorship election in the state.

The governor was speaking during a media chat with selected journalists in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

Melaye in a press statement in reaction to comments said to have been made by Omo-Agege at a campaign rally in Asaba last Thursday, stated that there was no time in the four-year tenure of the 8th Senate that any attempt was made or plot hatched to impeach President Mohammadu Buhari as claimed by the Deputy Senate President.

In a veiled reference to the threat by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State to pull out of PDP, he assured that Atiku would not sacrifice those elected by the party for his own ambition, just to please autocratic democrats.
