“The people who wrote results and were announcing fake results on the internet are the same people crying today that somebody rigged the election. It is sad to say that the criminals are crying today that they have lost and will continue to lose.
“They are spending money day and night and wasting their money, and they will wait in vain. Edo people have spoken. They have chosen the path of development, peace, and unity. This is what Edo people have chosen, and that is how it will remain.
