Kebbi PDP alleges injustice as APC wins 21 chairmanship seat, 225 ward councillors
All Progressives Congress candidates have been declared winner of Saturday’s local council polls by the Independent Electoral Commission on Sunday in Kebbi state.
The Chairman of the commission, Aliyu Muhammad-Mera, who announced this in Birnin Kebbi on Sunday, said the party won all the 21 Chairmanship seats and 225 Ward Councillors.
Muhammad-Mera disclosed that that 17 political parties participated in the polls, including, APC, NNPP, LP, AAC, Boot party, AP, and SDP among others.
He announced that the commission had ratified and adopted the chairmanship results for the LGs as announced by the various councils’ Returning Officers and the Councillorship results as announced at the electoral wards.
Muhammad-Mera expressed joy that the exercise was peaceful and hitch-free and commended the security agencies and all other stakeholders for their invaluable support.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that PDP had since boycotted the elections, insinuating that the KESIEC Chairman and his Commissioners were card-carrying members of APC. The PDP alleged that the commission’s leadership would not in any way be fair to opposition parties.
