Ogun State’s upcoming local government elections are scheduled for Saturday, November 16, 2024.
This was revealed in a statement signed by Mr. Babatunde Osibodu, the chairman of the Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission, and provided to reporters in Abeokuta on Tuesday.
The announcement quoted Osibodu as saying, “The release of guidelines for the conduct of the elections and stakeholders meeting is slated for Thursday, August 8, 2024, while the political parties’ campaigns commence on Friday, August 9. “Party primaries for the political parties are slated to take place from Monday, August 26, to Monday, September 9, 2024.”
Remember that last month, a statement circulating on social media declaring that the next local government elections in Ogun State will take place on October 26, 2024, was labelled as fake news by Mr. Kayode Akinmade, Special Adviser on Media and Strategy to Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State.
About a week ago, the elected leaders in local government finished their terms in office.
