Each of the 31 Local Government Areas (LGAs) within the state will have 18 chapter officers, including a designated representative for Persons Living with Disabilities (PLWDs).
In a statement released on Sunday, the party announced the election of one National Delegate from each LGA, with Governor Pastor Umo Eno among those elected.
