“In totality, PDP has won all the 16 council and councillorship seats. I appreciate Ekiti people for peaceful conduct.
“I implore all to accept the results, no victor nor vanquished as we are all working together for good of all. Certificates of return to be given to all winners in not too-distant time”, he said
