Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, has called on Kwara State Government to immediately swear-in the winners of the re-run election in the Offa Local Government of the state, where ACN won 11 out of 12 wards in addition to the chairmanship.

In a statement issued in Lagos Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said “the victory, in an election conducted by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,-controlled Kwara Government, shows that ACN was gaining widespread acceptance in the state and beyond.

It is worth mentioning that this election took place after some people, who had arrogated the title of grassroots leaders to themselves, left our party for another party. It shows that sovereignty resides with the people, no matter what delusion of grandeur may be afflicting some self-acclaimed leaders.

“Therefore, we congratulate the good people of Offa Local Government for their courage in standing up to be counted and also in ensuring that their votes counted.

“We are particularly gratified that the victory in Offa council, as well as that in Patigi, came on the eve of general elections, because it is a sign of greater things to come for our party in the state and beyond.”
