The Chairman of the National Election Monitoring Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Adenigbagbe Yusuf, has expressed satisfaction with the turnout and conduct of party members during the House of Representatives primary election in Kwara State.
Dr. Yusuf made the remark on Sunday while monitoring the primary election for the Ilorin East/Ilorin South Federal Constituency seat at Magaji Aare Ward I, Isale-Oja in Ilorin East Local Government Area.
