Reacting to the council polls held in the 16 local government areas of the state on Saturday, the PDP candidate declared: 'No election took place, today, Saturday, September 21st, 2024, in Offa LG due to severe logistical failures and irregularities. 'Despite the election being scheduled to commence at 8 am, as at 1 pm, voting materials had yet to arrive at 95% of the polling units across the 173 polling units in Offa Local Government Area.
'The few where materials were delivered, critical components such as ballot papers were incomplete, and result sheets were entirely unavailable in all the units.
