The All Progressives Congress (APC) has been declared winners in 14 out of 18 local government areas in Ondo State.

Seven political parties participated in the exercise on Saturday.

Announcing the election results on Sunday afternoon, Chairman of Ondo Independent Electoral Commission (ODIEC) Prof. Yomi Dinakin said there was no contest in five local governments.

Dinakin, who declared APC candidates winner of the elections in the five local government areas, said it was in line with the electoral act.

He stated he acted within the law which stated that where there are no contests, any candidate validly nominated should be declared winner.

He listed the five local governments to include Akoko North East where Mr. Omojola Asimiyu emerged; Ose LG Dennis Adekunle; Ifedore LG Alex Akinyemi Oladimeji; Odigbo LGA Akinsurojo Margret and Irele LG Segun Ajimatokin.

Nigeria and her silly trend

For more than 3years of being a state Governor, they won’t organize the local government election. Just about finishing the first tenure, the state governor will now organize one kangaroo election with no major opposition party participating willingly or forcefully. What happens next? The state ruling party clears all the local government posts

If the Opposition wins the incumbent in the gubernatorial, the local government elected personnels are laid off. Straight away to the court, the litigation of the elected local government chairman against the incumbent governor from the opposition party.

I think it is better the local government election is given to the INEC to handle and not the state electoral commission.
