Congress: Ondo APC gets new executives in 18 LGAs

Local government executives and ad-hoc delegates have emerged from the congress of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held on Saturday across the 18 council areas of Ondo State.
The secretary of the congress committee, Smart Iheazor, stated this while addressing journalists in Akure on Sunday, describing the exercise as peaceful and transparent.
Mr Iheazor said members of the committee monitored the elections across 18 local government areas and were satisfied with the conduct.
He explained that the delegates elected during the ward congress on Wednesday participated in electing the local government executives.
The secretary noted that the congress was conducted simultaneously in all the local government areas.
According to him, five additional delegates elected at the congress will take part in the party’s state executive election slated for March 3.
He added that the ad-hoc national delegates elected at the local government level would attend the party’s national convention scheduled for March 27 and March 28 in Abuja, where national officers would be elected.
He disclosed that 27 positions were contested for in each of the local government areas.
“We went round the local governments to monitor and observe the election, and the election went very smoothly.
“The election was very transparent and it was also very peaceful.
“The feedback we received from various local governments shows that there was no incident of violence. It was peaceful, and we are happy for Ondo State,” he said.
Mr Iheazor expressed confidence that the newly elected local government executives would effectively manage the party’s affairs at the grassroots.
He also disclosed that the appeal committee would sit to receive petitions from the congress.
He thanked stakeholders in the state for ensuring a conducive atmosphere for the exercise.
