At the ongoing All Progressives Congress (APC) Local Government Congress in Oyo State, party faithful in Itesiwaju Local Government have elected new executives in what observers described as a peaceful, transparent and well-coordinated exercise.
The congress, held as part of the statewide party process, witnessed broad participation from stakeholders and members across the local government area.
Segun Oyewole emerged as chairman, following a consensus affirmation that retained the existing local government executives. The affirmation process was conducted by the party’s designated representatives and supervised by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Party leaders in Itesiwaju Local Government said the decision to retain the executives was aimed at sustaining the legacy of the former state chairman, Chief Ajiboye Omodewu, whose tenure was widely acknowledged by members as impactful and unifying.
The exercise was described by participants as free, fair and rancour-free, reflecting unity and continuity within the party structure at the grassroots level.
