National leadership of the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, has rejected the result of the councillorship election for Ward 17 in Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State in the Saturday, March 6 council polls.
But the party also commended Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for a fair exercise and appealed to him to intervene by ensuring that the candidate of the NNPP, who allegedly won the election was declared to avoid any outbreak of violence in the area.
Briefing journalists on Monday in Abuja, the national Chairman of NNPP, Ambassador Agbo Major said that the councillorship position was more important to the party even more than the presidential election because it was closer to the grassroots than any other position.
