The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has won 19 out of the 20 local government seats in last Saturday’s local government polls in Ogun State.

The development came, even as the state independent electoral commission absolved itself of blame in not having the name of former President Olusegun Obasanjo on the voter register.

The Chairman of the State Independent Electoral Commission, Risiqat Ogunfemi, who announced the results at the commission’s headquarters in Abeokuta on Sunday, said it was apparent that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was yet to rectify the anomaly recorded in the register during the last general elections in 2011.

As at the time of this report, the ACN had won 19 local governments with remaining one, Imeko-Afon local government result withheld. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won eight wards out of the 365 wards announced.

The PDP won councillorship seat at ward 9 in Ikenne, ward 8 and 10 in Ijebu East council area.

Also, the party won at ward 2, Agosasa and Ajegunle. The Peoples Party of Nigeria won only at ward 6 in Ijebu East.

afam4eva: People will come now and say the election was free and fair because it was ACN that won. Had it been PDP now, people would have said that it was rigged.

I disagree entirely with these views.

Firstly, no APGA controlled state government had ever conducted Local Government elections in the history of Nigeria so we don't know that this would hold if they do so. That is the reason for the pressure being mounted on Peter Obi of Anambra State by many groups, including his own party Chairman. it is apparent that Peter Obi does not believe his party will triumph if he goes ahead to conduct LGA elections so he decides to deliberately engineer delays till his tenure expires. Okorocha (Imo Governor) is the only other APGA Governor and he came in just about a year ago and dissolved the LGA councils, an action that was recently invalidated by the courts.

Secondly, how did you come about the allegation of rigging in this LGA election when the ACN secured more than two-thirds of all contested positions during the 2011 general elections conducted by the FG-constituted INEC? While not ruling out rigging as may happen with politicians, I would prefer evidence-based arguments rather than rumours and generalizations based on what has happened in the past. For example, Oshiomhole won his gubernatorial elections in all 18 LGAs in Edo State this month in a process that was managed by the FG-constituted INEC, would you say he rigged again if his party wins in all 18 LGAs during the LGA elections later?

My point is that it is unfair to classify the Ogun SIEC as partisan or to describe the Ogun LGA elections as a charade without substantiating it. The Ogun State Governor came out to say that this particular LGA election is the best election in the history of Ogun State since 1999; fault him based on facts please, not sentiments.

Demdem: I wonder what the Retardeen is doing about the Uwais report on electoral matters. This is the time to start implementing it even before the next general elections. The dumbo thinks by just appointing Jega he is through with electoral reforms. Nonsense.

tessyade: This is not strange. It is almost impossible to defeat the state's ruling party at local government polls in nigeria. What bother me is the fact that ACN is not really performing in ogun state.
