Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, is set to swear in the newly elected local government council chairmen on Sunday, February 23, 2025.
This was confirmed by his Special Assistant on Digital Media, Olalekan Badmus, via his X account on Saturday night.
According to Badmus, the swearing-in ceremony will be held at the Government House in Osogbo, the state capital.
“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,” he wrote.
The event follows the controversial local government elections conducted on Saturday, February 22.
The Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) announced that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won all the local government chairmanship and councillorship positions across the state.
In a Facebook Live broadcast on Saturday evening, OSSIEC Chairman Hashim Abioye declared that PDP candidates secured all 332 councillorship seats and won in all 30 local government council areas.
However, the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) dismissed the election, describing it as illegal. The party commended residents for boycotting the election.
