In the recently concluded local government council elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been proclaimed the winner of all 114 councillorship posts and all 11 chairmanship seats by the Gombe State Independent Electoral Commission (GOSIEC).
Since no party other than the ruling party fielded candidates for the election, the APC was declared the winner of all 114 council seats without a challenge.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chapter in Gombe State, however, has disapproved of the exercise’s results, claiming that it was merely theatrical and a mockery of democracy.
Governor Inuwa Yahaya will swear in the newly elected and returning local government council officials on Monday (tomorrow), despite the PDP stating that it is preparing what suitable redress procedures to utilize.
