Out of the 16 local governments that have been announced so far, the Peoples Democratic Party PDP has scored a total number of 195,954 votes while the All Progressive Congress APC scored 244,549 votes.

Meanwhile, the INEC state returning officer said the results of two local governments are still being expected and the collation centre has been put on hold to resume by 5:pm later today.
