The Peoples Democratic Party has commended Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, and the people of the state for the successful conduct of the local government elections, describing the process as a victory for democracy and the rule of law.

In a statement on Sunday, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the party’s decisive win reflects the people’s strong support for Adeleke’s achievements in infrastructure, citizen empowerment, and human capital development.

The Osun State local government election followed a legal battle in which the Federal High Court in Osogbo initially dismissed the state’s local government chairmen and councillors. However, the Court of Appeal in Akure, Ondo State, later reinstated them.

On February 17, PDP supporters loyal to Adeleke’s administration strongly opposed a move to reinstate the chairmen, who are members of the opposition All Progressives Congress. This led to violence and fatalities in different parts of Osun State.


Despite the tensions, the scheduled LG election proceeded on Saturday.

The Chairman of the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, Hashim Abioye, declared all 30 PDP chairmanship candidates and 332 councillors elected in their respective local governments and wards.

Ologunagba praised the people of Osun State for turning out in large numbers to exercise their democratic rights.

He stated, “The Peoples Democratic Party congratulates Governor Ademola Adeleke, the government, and the people of Osun State for the successful conduct and outcome of the local government elections held on Saturday, 22 February 2025.”
