APC sweeps Adamawa LG election

The Adamawa State Independent Electoral Commission (ADSIEC) has announced the results of local government election held in the state on Saturday.

Speaking in Yola on Monday, Isa Shettima, chairman of the commission, said the All Progressives Congress (APC) won the chairmanship seats of 18 local governments where results were announced.

Shettima said the commission had cancelled the elections in Michika, Lamurde and Numan local government areas, and fixed August 6, for fresh polls.

“There will also be election in two wards in Guyuk local government on the same date,” the ADSIEC chairman said.

He said results of councilors for the 226 wards in the state would be announced at the headquarters of the three senatorial zones.

Shortly after the announcement of the results, the winners were presented with certificate of return by the chairman.

Speaking to NAN after receiving her certificate, Wale Fwa, the only female candidate, said she was prepared for the job and would not disappoint the people.

“I am used to that; I was once the only female member in the state house of assembly, my people have confidence in my ability to deliver and I will do just that,” Wale said.
