He further said the exercise was closely monitored by officials of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as well as party officials from Abuja.
“Our congresses went on smoothly without any hitch in all the wards across the state. INEC officials and party officials have monitored the conduct of our congresses, and we will forward the results to the party headquarters in Abuja."
“It was a huge success as the will of the people was allowed to manifest in the exercise. In the spirit of open participation in democratic process without imposition or anointing of candidates, our congress, which is the genuine, legitimate and lawful one, held without any protest or problem,”he added.
Meanwhile, the faction loyal to the state Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje also conducted its exercise across the state.
