A statement from the Commission’s Information Officer, Sadiat Isiaka, noted that the Commission’s chairman, Hashim Abioye, presented the council officials their certificates.
OSSIEC had conducted the poll after the state government rejected advice from the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, and the Inspector General of Police, Tunji Egbetokun, asking them to discontinue the exercise.
It should be noted that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, cleared all 30 local government chairmanship and 332 Councillorship seats in the just concluded 2025 local government election in Osun State.
However, the opposition’s All Progressives Congress rejected the results, claiming the election was not held in any part of the state to warrant the declaration of results.
OSSIEC Chairman congratulated the elected chairmen on their victory, just as he urged them to be good ambassadors of democracy both in conduct and service to the people.
