Breaking: PDP wins in all 30 LGAs in Osun State.

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 election for the seats were conducted yesterday, February 22nd, 2025.

The Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) Chairman, Hashim Abioye, announced this on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025.

The election was held despite warnings by the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Lateef Fagbemi, and the Police to suspend the elections.

The AGF had argued that the Court of Appeal, Akure division, on February 10th, 2025, nullified the judgment of the Federal High Court, Osogbo, delivered on November 25th, 2022.

He stated that the verdict of the appellate court implied that the All-Progressives Congress (APC) local council chairmen formerly sacked by the lower court had been restored.

The police hinged the decision to call for a suspension of the polls on intelligence reports of security thre@ts during the election.

The result announcement was allegedly done at the Government House in Osogbo as the police had sealed off the commission’s office in the state capital.

His words as recorded in the video, “The Local Government election has been successfully concluded. It was conducted in compliance with constitutional provisions, extant laws, regulations, and guidelines.

The election was conducted to fill the existing vacancies in 332 wards in the state and 30 LGAs of the state.

The election was contested by 18 political parties and the result has been submitted to the commission. From the available results as obtained from the field, the candidates of the PDP in 332 wards emerged as winners, and I as the chief returning officer of the commission hereby return each and every one of them as duly elected councillors of their wards.”
