The All Progressives Congress (APC) Niger State has won the chairmanship seats of all the local governments that elections were conducted last Saturday in the state.
The result has drawn criticisms from other political parties in the state who are alleging that the elections was rigged and manipulated in the 23 local government councils whose results have so far been confirmed.
The results were released by the returning officers from the local government areas at the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC) in Minna, yesterday. However election did not take place in Suleja even as the SIEC did not disclose to journalists the reasons for that.
The election results in Shiroro was said to have been undergoing sorting at press time, hence the result was not formerly released. However there are indications that the APC may also win the local government council to give the party 100 per cent victory in the election.
The result showed that the ruling All Progressives Congress has toed the line of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last local government election in 2012 when all the councils were won by PDP.
Like the 2012 local government election some of those interviewed expressed reservation over adherence to the laid down procedure by the state commission.
