He stated that Rita would have won the election if the powers in Abuja hadn't rigged it. Stanley expressed sadness that some delegates chose personal gain over the association's ethics.

“I’m deeply disappointed with the AGN national election outcome. It appears the process was unfair, particularly with regard to Hon. Rita Daniels’ candidacy. The alleged influence of a powerful individual in Abuja is concerning. I acknowledge the other winners, but the presidential election outcome is questionable.
"Regrettably, some delegates prioritised personal gain over the association’s integrity. We hear how much they give to each state delegate. But it’s a shame!!! @rita.daniels06 is my winner! Ontop cares!!!”
