The Southeastern zone of Network Evangelical Bishops of Nigeria (NEBN) has rejected the result of Enugu State governorship election held on March 18, calling it an “unacceptable assault on the people.” In a statement, yesterday, signed by its President, Bishop Samuel Ani, and Publicity Secretary, Bishop Emeka Nwafor, after a two-day meeting in Umuahia, Abia State, the bishops said they are convinced that the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Chijioke Edeoga, “won the election fair and square.”
