According to him, the results brought in by the 23 local government electoral officers showed that APC won all the seats, which were keenly contested by five other political parties.
He said: “A total of eight political parties participated in the elections, but in the field, only five participated, which are APC, APGA, LP, PDP, and SDP.
“There is no local government where there was a candidate returned unopposed; every local government election is contested the same thing with the ward council.”
