Osun LG poll: Adeleke to swear in newly elected chairmen today

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke will today swear in the newly elected local government council chairmen.

Adeleke’s Special Assistant on Digital Media, Olalekan Badmus, disclosed this via his X account on Saturday night.

Badmus said the swearing-in ceremony will take place at the Government House in Osogbo, the state capital.

He wrote: “The newly elected local government council chairmen will be sworn in by His Excellency, Governor Ademola Adeleke, tomorrow, 23/02/2025, at 12:00 noon prompt at the Government House, Osogbo.”

This is coming amid the controversy surrounding the conduct of the council polls held on Saturday.

Already, Osun State Independent Electoral Commission has announced that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party won all the local government and councillorship positions in the just-concluded local government election in the state.

OSSIEC Chairman Hashim Abioye made this announcement via a Facebook Live broadcast on Saturday evening.

Abioye stated that PDP candidates won all the councillorship seats in all 332 wards in the state and also secured victory in the chairmanship elections across all 30 local government council areas.

However, the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has commended the people for boycotting what it described as an illegal local government council election.
