A letter of protest, signed on behalf of the party by Barrister Mohammed Tsado Mohammed in Minna and forwarded to the governor, claimed the local government election was contested by candidates of both the All Progressives Congress, APC, and SDP.<\/p>\n

According to the letter: \u201cSeven months after the conduct of the local government election, the state electoral umpire, under the leadership of Alhaji Aminu Baba, refused to issue the elected councillors their certificates of return.\u201d<\/p>\n
