Engr Ahmed was one of those who delivered his polling unit in Auchi. He also worked round the clock, along with other leaders in the district to checkmate the inroad of the LP as well as the overarching influence of the ruling PDP.

With the first round of the election done and dusted, Engr Ahmed said attention has shifted to the state assembly election, adding the party leaders will not leave anything to chance to ensure a clean sweep of the available seats.
He added that winning a whopping eight state assembly seats will place the APC in the state in an advantageous position to have the majority members in the house .
