The former Secretary to Ekiti State Government, Hon. Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, has been declared winner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election held on Thursday.
The chairman of the electoral committee, Governor Muhammed Abubakar Baduru of Jigawa State, said Oyebanji scored the highest number of votes in all the 177 wards to defeat other contestants.
Baduru stated that statistics from the returning officers showed that other contestants scored virtually zero in most wards because they did not participate in the process, having alleged irregularities.
The Jigawa governor, who appreciated party members for their display of maturity and cooperation, stated that the election was transparent and devoid of any manipulation.
According to him, the method for the exercise was reached by all aspirants during a stakeholders meeting held on Wednesday.
