He said that the polls conducted peacefully across the state, adding. “For the chairmanship election, PDP won all the 20 seats as declared at the local government levels.

“And for the Councillors, the results were declared in the wards with other parties emerging victorious.”

Makama further said that the commission would issue the winners with their certificates of return on Sunday.

NAN reports that the local government election was conducted following the recent judgment of the Supreme Court, which affirmed local government’s autonomy,

The judgment is seeking the Federation Account Allocation Committee to withhold funds meant for LGs without democratically elected officials.

Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bauchi State chapter has rejected the results.

Alhaji Muhammad Hassan, the Chairman of the party in the state, at a news briefing on Saturday, described the election as a “broad-day robbery of franchise and murder of democracy.”

He cited numerous alleged irregularities, including inadequate election materials, withheld sensitive materials and result sheets and votes allocation to the ruling PDP.

Others were the alleged absence of returning officers and the abandonment of election materials at the polling units.

“There were also instances of ballot box snatching, massive thumb printing of ballot papers for PDP and votes allocation to PDP candidates across all the local governments,”  Hassan alleged.

BASIEC, however, insisted that the polls were free and fair.
