The ruling party’s ward congresses were held on May 5 across the country, with reports of irregularities and disruption in some areas.
Giwa-Daramola, a retired navy Commander said: “Unlike reports from other states and constituencies where the exercise was disrupted, it was indeed a peaceful event in Akoko”.
He said: “Akoko people conducted themselves peacefully at the congress and the party leaders in the constituency should be commended for their leadership role.”
Speaking on other matters, he told NAN that there was the need to ensure the establishment of a Federal University of Education or Agriculture in the area.
Giwa-Daramola said: “Establishment of a University in Akoko land is long overdue, one of my mandate is to push for one, in order to bring developmental growth.”
