On the chances of the APC in the forthcoming Council Polls, Hon. Abdullahi Bello said the party would win all the seats, insisting that even in the election conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission, the APC won all the House of Assembly Seats, saying it is normal in politics for the opposition to make loud noise, even when it is a known fact that they do not have any structure that can win election in the State.

” It is politics for the opposition to make noise. The only right the opposition have which cannot be taken away from them is noise making. We’re not saying this because Council Polls is a state government election. APC won all the seats in the State Assembly even when the election was conducted by INEC.” Abdullahi said.

Hon. Abdullahi Bello commended Gov. Bello in his efforts at the just concluded Ondo State Governoship Election, described him as a party man to the core whose sense of mobilization and commitment made the Ondo State Election to be won seamlessly by Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu.

He disclosed that just like in 2016, the Ondo State Governoship Election has once again justified that the APC is the party on the ground with the efforts of Gov. Bello, who mobilized Kogi indigenes and others living in Ondo State to vote for the APC.

The State Chairman ascribed his leadership success in the State APC since coming on board to his ability to work with former and present leaders of the party, says under the leadership of Gov. Yahaya Bello, whom he disclosed believes in unity, togetherness as panacea to having a one big, strong and united Party, the APC would continue to be the envy of all and would go ahead to clear all seats in the forthcoming Local Government Election in December.
