It was a clean sweep for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun state as the party won all 20 chairmanship and councilorship seats in the local government election.
The chairman of the Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission (OGSIEC), Babatunde Osibodu, made the declaration on Sunday in Abeokuta, the State capital.
According to Osibodu, the APC also won all 236 councillorship seats from the polls held on Saturday across the 236 council wards in the 20 LGAs.
Commenting on the election after casting his vote on Saturday, the State governor, Dapo Abiodun, expressed delight in the turnout.
Abiodun also commended OGSIEC for the process, adding that reports and feedback from the field were encouraging.
“The feedback I have gotten has been very encouraging,” he said.
“In any election, we can’t rule out logistic hiccups, but, by and large, electoral materials have reached all the nooks and crannies of the state and voting has commenced in earnest.
“I want to commend our law enforcement agencies. I have noticed the presence of the Nigeria Police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Department of State Security (DSS) and Amotekun Corps.”
The governor lauded security agencies for their collaborative efforts in ensuring a peaceful election.
