“By the authority conferred in me by the law, I hereby declare the following to be the outcomes of the chairmanship of each of the 13 local governments:
“One, Abakaliki Local Government, Mr. Ebere Nwogba of the APC, is thus returned as validly elected. He has satisfied the legal conditions and received the majority of the valid votes cast in the election.
