In fulfillment of the promise of Senator Abiola Ajimobi, the governor of Oyo State, the conduct of local government election in the state has been fixed for May 12, 2018.
This development was confirmed on Friday at a press briefing in Ibadan, the capital city of the state by the Chairman of the State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC), Mr. John Olujide Ajeigbe.
