The Adamawa State Local Government election recorded high voter apathy, as many polling units were without election officials and voters.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri was not in the state when the election was conducted on Saturday.
Preliminary results showed that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was leading in 18 of the 21 local government areas in the state.
Speaking to PUNCH Online on the local government poll, the state Commissioner for Information, Leader Leneke, blamed the ruling All Progressives Congress for not campaigning as vigorously as the PDP.
“The PDP governorship candidate and the chairmanship candidates were going out every day for campaigns, but the ruling APC was not doing the same. So, if the PDP wins the election today, it is due to its hard work.
