The All Progressives Congress (APC) has secured a clean sweep in the Kebbi State local government elections, winning all 21 chairmanship and 225 councilorship positions. The results were announced by the State Independent Electoral Commission Chairman, Aliyu Mera, at the commission’s headquarters in Birnin Kebbi over the weekend.
Mera revealed that 17 political parties participated in the election, although the major opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), withdrew from the contest. Following the announcement, the commission issued certificates of return to all the APC winners, formalizing their victories.
Kebbi State, located in North-West Nigeria, is currently governed by the APC administration under Governor Nasir Idris. This election is part of a broader trend, with about 20 states conducting local government elections since the Supreme Court granted financial autonomy to local governments in July.
