    Osun LG Poll: PDP Claims Victory In All 30 Local Government Areas

    The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has won all the chairmanship and councillorship seats in all the 30 local government areas (LGAs) in Osun State.

    The Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC), Hashim Abioye, announced this at a press conference on Saturday.

    The commission defied warnings by the police and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, to put the poll on hold. 

    The commission relied on a judgement of the Osun State High Court in Ilesa which ordered the electoral agency to conduct elections for the vacant positions of chairmen and councillors in the 30 LGAs.

    The exercise commenced in some local governments as early as 8 am on Saturday in all the 30 local councils in the South-West state including in the Ede North LGA where Governor Ademola Adeleke cast his vote.

    The governor, after the civic responsibility, described the exercise as peaceful. “The process has been very peaceful, I made a broadcast to my good people of Osun State that this election should be peaceful, there should be no violence because Osun State is a very peaceful state,” he said.

    Earlier, the state electoral commission boss accused the police of sealing the commission’s headquarters in Osogbo, the state capital, and arresting some personnel. Abioye, however, said the commission moved to an undisclosed location to carry out its constitutional duty.

    The police had on Friday cautioned against the poll citing security threats. The police had said it received credible intelligence indicating a likelihood of violence.

    The police warning followed the stance of the AGF who asked the governor of the state to put the local government election on hold.
