2. Recall that IPAC had earlier called for a free, fair, transparent and peaceful elections and equally set up a team to monitor the elections in the four LGAs.
3. We therefore state without equivocation that the outcome of the election is the true reflection of the wishes of the electorates in the affected areas.

5. We equally commend the relative neutrality of INEC and the security agencies in the conduct of the rerun election. The peaceful post election atmosphere that permeates the state is a loud testimony to the fact that the election was not compromised.
6. Most importantly, we commend the electorates for conducting themselves in the most orderly and vigilant manner before, during and after the election.
7. We call on all political stakeholders to always make deliberate efforts to allow the will of the people to prevail in the choice of leaders at all levels.
