Oyo State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has disclosed that it will participate in the forthcoming local government election.
APC is the major opposition political party in the State.
Media Talk Africa reports that Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission, OYSIEC, has concluded plans to conduct local government elections in the State.
The election has been scheduled to take place in April 2024.
Publicity Secretary of the APC, Wasiu Olawale Sadare, in a statement made available to Media Talk Africa, insisted that the party would participate in the election.
Sadare said, “The unanimous decision at the stakeholders’ meeting held today at our (Oke-Ado) State secretariat was that we would participate with a view to winning most of the available seats in the local government areas and local council development areas.
“I can assure you that by the time we are done with our final round of consultation on or before Monday, we will roll out a schedule of activities since OYSIEC has written to us about the extension of the deadline for the conduct of primary which is now August 31, 2023.”
