Breaking news: The APC refuses to accept the election outcomes as the PDP secures victory in all 33 chairmanship seats in the Oyo Local Government election.
The Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC) has released the results of the council poll held on Saturday, April 27. The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) emerged victorious in all 33 chairmanship seats across the state. OYSIEC chairman, Aare Isiaka Olagunju (SAN), along with the Commissioner of Police in the state, Adebola Hamzat, and other security agencies, commended the conduct of the poll, describing it as free, fair, credible, and devoid of violence.
