The much anticipated and touted challenge from Barrister C.U Okeke against Arch Paul Chukwuebuka Ileka, was a great underwhelming disappointment going by the outcome of the primary election result.
Ileka had shown that he is indeed a strong grassroots politician compared to his challenger who assured all that he was going to floor the winner. To sanitize the electoral process.
The challenger who flouted the well-ordered arrangement by the Otolo Quarter of Nnewi, in the pretense that he wanted to bring his brand of order to prevail, could not win his ward in the peaceful exercise.
Arch Ileka scored a total of 2,499 votes against Barrister Okeke’s 144.
All efforts by our reporters to get across to Barrister Okeke to share his feelings failed. We are also not able to reach Arch Paul Ileka to share his thoughts on the resounding victory.
