The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has won all the chairmanship and councillorship seats in all the 30 local government areas (LGAs) in Osun State, News360 Nigeria reports.

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.

According to the justice minister on Friday, the Court of Appeal, Akure division, on February 10, 2025, nullified the judgement of the Federal High Court, Osogbo, delivered on November 25, 2022.

The AGF said the verdict of the appellate court implied that the All Progressives Congress (APC) local council chairmen formerly sacked by the lower court have been restored.

At least six persons have been confirmed dead since Monday when APC and PDP clashed in Osun State over the control of local government councils.

Before the clash, the governor raised the alarm on Sunday that APC backed by security agencies want to hijack the council secretariats in the state.

The governor, who belongs to the PDP, had asked President Bola Tinubu to caution one of his ministers, Gboyega Oyetola of the APC, over the impending clash but such a measure appeared not to have been put in place hence the escalation.

D

why o .. you just beat me

So that APC chairman died for nothing

Gallant!

Good. In as much, I done like PDP, APC moving Nigeria to a single party system will surely be disastrous for the citizens.

Let the opposition remain for better democracy

Kangaroo election.

What a waste of state resources. Election that will not stand the test of time.
Complete fraud and waste of time and resources.

Hahahahaha

And this is how the country has been turned into a jungle..

If it's an APC state, same thing. When they can't use APC or PDP, they go shop for a party and use it to announce the list (as witnessed in Rivers)..

This is even worse than dictatorship.. this is Emperorship, what all the 36 state governors in Nigeria are doing and nobody is saying anything. This is absurd and no nation or state can ever grow like this.

Watch how that Ade dancer of a guy will be exposed, within him, he thinks he is smart. Just watch and see

Ok. Let's hear what APC has to say...

FG should mind their biz , so much to do about the economy and security in Nigeria

Clowns

Interesting and expected results.
I have observed that when it is a state conducted election, results are out in 24 hours. So if a state can get all the results in 24 hours, why does national election, including the legislative ones, take 3-4 days?

Inconclusive results incoming

As expected

Was there an election ? No room for campaign whatsoever ...aside the AGF told the Governor to allow courts ruling to prevail but he went ahead to conduct election why ? He has abused the court process by his action and may face backlash .

Free and fair

Most peaceful election even without police. Who is not satisfied should go to court

How will the elected chairmen enter office. Police won't allow them . The election is an exercise in futility
