The Kebbi State Independent Electoral Commission has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) won the local council polls that were held on Saturday in the 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 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 LGs as announced by the various councils’ Returning Officers and the Councillors results as announced at the electoral wards.

Muhammad-Mera expressed satisfaction that the exercise was peaceful and hitch-free.

He 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.
