Oyo State Commissioner for Information, Prince Dotun Oyelade, has said the outstanding performance of Governor Seyi Makinde in the last five years was the major reason Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidates won all the 33 local government seats.
He made this known in a statement shortly after the Chairman, Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC), Aare Isiaka Olagunju, announced the final result of the election yesterday, reports The Nation.
In Gombe State, All Progressives Congress (APC) also won the chairmanship seats in the 11 local governments and all the councillorship seats in the election held at the weekend. Describing the Oyo council election as one-sided, the commissioner equally attributed the result to the quality of the candidates, which the ruling party presented.
He said: “This is a tribute to the governor and his administration, as this is the last election under his watch till 2027 when he and the just elected local government chairmen and councillors will end their tenure.”
The commissioner hailed the commitments of the security team, OYSIEC chairman and his team for daring to make a difference after the challenges of the past two local government elections.
