The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has won council election in all the 20 Local Government Areas of Adamawa State, where results have been determined so far.
Election now pends in only one LGA of Numan. The last
election is holding today following its postponement from Saturday, June 13
when the election was held in the other LGAs.
Considering that the government at the state level in
Adamawa is currently of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the outcome of the
council election would surprise many, except those who could observe that
arrangement for the election had already gone far before the political
alignment that had Governor Ahmadu Fintiri defecting from the PDP to the APC on
February 27 this year.
Although, most loyalists of the governor went with him into
the APC, the council chairmen who had earlier been endorsed to seek another
term under PDP, remained in the party.
Recall that other parties competed with the PDP in the
Saturday election, but could not make a strong statement during the election.
The state PDP governorship candidate for the 2027 general
elections, Chief Maurice Vunobolki who was in the vanguard of the pre-council
election campaign, has congratulated the newly elected council chairmen, saying
the victory of the PDP is a sign that the party remains popular among the
people.
The election was conducted by the Adamawa State Independent
Electoral Commission, ADSIEC, which has now shifted attention to the Numan LGA
poll.
Among the newly elected chairman is Jibril Ibrahim Jimeta
for Yola North LGA.
