He stated that contrary to over 800 votes announced in his favour by the Commission, he actually polled over 57,000 votes and asked the Commission to right the wrongs against his party or face lawsuit.
Agu also stated that INEC was wrong in the way it bandied figures in the election against political parties that participated in the election.
In a statement by his Director of Research and Publicity, Obiechina Ezeofor, he stated that the result of the governorship election, as published by INEC in the state, “is a betrayal of peoples trust,” and, therefore, rejected the outcome in its entirety.
Agu, who further stated that records available to him showed different result from what INEC published, condemned alleged financial inducement, intimidation and threats by the Labour Party (LP) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state during the election.
He said: “Some community and religious leaders in my community, Ngwo, were threatened by party supporters.”
