“In Abia State, we didn’t sleep for four days. If you sleep, they will steal your votes.

“Follow the results from the units to the wards, the local government, and the state collation centers,” Otti said.
The Abia governor also expressed confidence in Akpata and his running mate, Yusuf Kadiri, stating that they were the best team to lead Edo.
