Leke Baiyewu, Adebayo Folorunsho-Francis, Dirisu Yakubu, Abiodun Sanusi, Dennis Naku, Abiodun Nejo, Ademola Adegbite, Ikenna Obianeri and Hindi LivinusPolitical parties, including the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party, are set to battle for 94 legislative seats in federal and state parliaments in Saturday’s supplementary elections.
The elections will also be held in 389 polling units across all the 23 LGAs of the state. Altogether, about 227,743 eligible voters are expected to participate in the exercise. They are Akwa Ibom , Anambra , Bayelsa , Edo , Imo , Kano , Kebbi , Kogi , Oyo , Rivers , Sokoto , Taraba , Zamfara , Jigawa and Ebonyi state .
The electoral commission had declared the election inconclusive citing the cancellation of results in different polling units across the registration areas in 20 of the 21 local government areas of the state. Although the deputy publicity scribe did not disclose the identity of the parties in talks with the PDP, he noted that the main opposition party will give a good account of itself in the polls across the board.
He said, “People have been sensitized to use their conscience to see to it that they elect people who will give them the representation they want. I don’t see APC victory being hijacked by an alliance of political parties provided everyone including the agency tasked with electoral assignment does what is expected of them according to the book.
“So, we are maintaining vigil and at the same time sensitizing and mobilizing people to have a massive turnout. Once there is no apathy, we are confident of victory.
