Azodo won the election following completion of Supplementary Election last weekend.
The supplementary election which held on April 15 and scheduled for just seven polling units in Azodo’s Ugbelle Ward was thoroughly militarised by state actors who deployed two Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC), intended to intimidate voters and Ichie Azodo’s kinsmen who had vowed to vote him massively.
While the intimidation succeeded, it still did not deliver victory to the ruling party which was desperate to deliver the APC candidate in the election.
