REV. BUNMI JENYO HAILS OSSIEC OVER HITCH- FREE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION

DESCRIBES EXERCISE AS PEACEFUL, CREDIBLE

A Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State and the Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo has commended the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission ( OSSIEC) for the professional conduct of the Local Government Election, held on Saturday.

“From all indications, the democratic exercise confirms the indomitability of PDP in Osun state”, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo asserted.

Rev. Jenyo ascribed the resounding victory of the PDP at the council polls, across the 30 Local Governments and area office, to the well-coordinated campaigns, the popularity of the candidates and desire of the electorates to replicate Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke at the grassroots.

“The eleventh hour withdrawal of the major opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election cannot undermine the credibility of the exercise because APC is just one out of 18 political parties that participated”, Rev. Jenyo stated further.

Rev. Jenyo also emphasized that the reasons for their withdrawal was laughable as the conduct of the election was not restrained by any court of law.

“I believe they withdrew probably because they are yet to come out of the shock of their past electoral defeat”.

“For the records, the administration under Governor Ademola Adeleke, PDP is well positioned to deliver the dividends of democracy with quality governance, and opposition APC will find it difficult to win any election again in Osun State”, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo submitted.

He therefore encouraged the general public to expect a vibrant grassroots development and impactful governance across the state as the elected officers, are figures who are prepared to justify their mandate.

Rev. Bunmi Jenyo,
Honourable Commissioner,
Ministry of Commerce and Industry,
Osun State.
