The PDP won majority votes in nine out of ten announced local government results, only losing in one local government to the opposition party, All Progressives Congress or APC.

PDP’s sweeping victory also comes as a surprise in light of the victory of the presidential opposition candidate, Buhari, in Gombe State only two weeks ago.
