He appreciated security agencies and the staff of the commission as well as the electorate for participating in the poll and for their cooperation for the successful conduct of the election.

The election was held across the 16 local government areas (LGAs) and the 19 local council development areas (LCDAs) as well as the 177 wards of the state.

The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), boycotted the election, claiming that the APC led administration in the state was incapable of organising credible, free and fair election without violence.

Six other political parties, however, participated at the poll.
