\u00a0The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa has rejected the result of Saturday\u2019s local government election announced by the state Independent Electoral Commission (ADSIEC).<\/p>\n

reports that the election<\/a> was conducted on April 9th and the result announced on April 10.<\/p>\n

The outcome showed that all the 21 council chairmanship seats were won by the ruling People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alhaji Ibrahim Bilal, the state APC Chairman, said they were not satisfied with the results as the party also won some wards but was not announced by ADSIEC.<\/p>\n

According to him, the party have won in many wards and the results<\/a> announced are contrary to what was obtained from the polling units.<\/p>\n

Bilal listed some of the affected wards won by APC as Toungo, Bako and Bamoi wards in Yola-South as well as Wambilimi-Til wards in Michika Local Government<\/a> Area.<\/p>\n

He assured that the party would come up with a stand over the conduct of the election to ensure justice to its candidates and peace in the state.<\/p>\n

Mr Moses Audu, a resident of Yola, told\u00a0 that such outcomes have become the tradition of Nigerian governors<\/a> of manipulating council elections to suit their interest.<\/p>\n

According to him, if there is a free, fair and credible election conducted across the state, APC must win some areas.<\/p>\n

He therefore appealed to the Federal Government to make it possible for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct local government elections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
