APC sweeps Kebbi LG
Our Editor
The Kebbi State Independent Electoral Commission, KESIEC, on Sunday declared the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the winner of all the positions contested in Saturday’s local council polls in the state.
Chairman of the Commission, Alhaji Aliyu Muhammad-Mera, who announced the results in Birnin Kebbi on Sunday, said the party won all the 21 chairmanship and 225 councillorship seats.
Muhammad-Mera said 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 LGAs 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.
Recall that PDP had since boycotted the elections, insinuating that the KESIEC chairman and his commissioners were card-carrying members of the APC.
